The tabs in intellij are definitely weird. I just don't really even pay attention to tabs or use them for navigating. I use keyboard commands for selecting files by name.

Ditto. Either command-shift-N to jump to the file I was, or swipe gestures on my Magic Trackpad to go forward and backward in editor history.

I rarely look for a specific tab.
