I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

Yes, I have been using the version with Tabs for testing purposes. I
must say that this is a nice improvement over previous versions,
allowing more tools without breaking concepts and usability. We still
need few tweaks, (duplicate grease pencil, some pimitives present in
"shift + a" shortcut aren't listed yet), but once using, there is no
turning back.
One of the thinsg I guess we will need, is to move
some of the panels located at the Properties Panel, related to 3D view,
to a proper context, instead of mixing with the properties of the
selected object. I mean, Grease Pencil, View, Display, Shading, Motion
Tracking and Background Images panels, or move them to separate tabs
too, so we will have a more organized properties panel.

What happened to the idea to have diagonally oriented text on the tabs as a compromise? It takes up only the most slightly more horizontal room while also being much easier to read.
I don't like the vertical text on the tabs, but Blender is slowly getting better and better, that's sure :)
I still can't find the mockup, but someone did a sample of diagonal-text tabs that would work very well.
Tabs are srs bsns it seems.
