Short version:
-------------------------
Anybody out there who knows how to make more than one tab visible in the new
editor view?
There HAS to be a setting to display more than one tab???
I checked the prefs but can't find it.
?

Some other comments:
----------------------

FYI If you haven't used the new look you can try this:
-------------------------
Rename 3 jars from x.jar to x-old.jar and corresponding x-new.jar to x.jar
eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.ui.workbench_3.0.0\workspace.jar ,
eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor_3.0.0\te xteditor.jar,
(the -new jar is actually in org.eclipse.ui.workbench_3.0.0 for some reason)
eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.ui.ide_3.0.0\ide.jar
------------------------

I love Eclipse, the best IDE I have used.

But checking out the new look of the tabs in M7 ....

I think it is good to play with new approaches, that is how great new
components gets invented.
Personally I couldn't care less about if it looks like native tabs or not
since I use eclipse mainly as an IDE to create java applications.
If they come up with something that is better than the original tabs, I'd
use it.

I also see the point of people who uses Eclipse or SWT to get a native look,
so it would be nice to have a preference setting in how these new tabs
should appear.

Some personal preferences:

I don't like:
-----------
The highlighted frame around the editor, the colored tab is enough.
The fact that I can only see one editor tab at a time by default. (I mean,
like, dude, COME ON)
Yes I can use ctrl-F6 or ctrl-shift-w, but I like to have an overview of
opened tabs, maybe just the most recently used, let me.

I like
-------
the editor choice dropdown arrow,
the close editor button on the tab. (though I mapped close to ctrl-w, which
I tend to use)
the stackable tabs view, but I think the minimize should minimize the
horizontal view also, instead of just vertically.

I would like:
---------------
If I could put two editors side by side and maximize that container, sort of
like in the compare view.

Oh and the view's pop up (flip out) toolbar-tab , i'd rather see the default
toolbar colors,
plus have the ability of docking this at the top of the view if I want to.

Don't know about M7, but today's integration build has "Show multiple
editor tabs" toggle in Window->Preferences->Workbench->Editors.

After thinking "am I crazy?", it turns out it appears in the prefs after
replacing ide.jar with ide-new.jar.
My bad.
Thanks for pointing it out.
