I wish they would have taken more time to better support tabbed browsing instead of implementing their own floating compose windows in javascript.

Now they've implemented their own version of tabs.

Just support native browser controls, please. People understand them. They're simple. They work. The more stuff they add, the heavier Gmail becomes... and the more of a pain it is to load in multiple real tabs.

Show me any big web app that doesn't use tabs at least somewhere. I don't see what the big deal is.

I'd like to once again recommend trying the Basic Html view. You can middle-click the compose button (or any link, really) and it opens in a new tab. It's super helpful for keeping multiple emails open to reference while writing a new one (which is what the floaty javascript compose window is supposed to solve, but it doesn't really)
