Tabs is something I really like with firefox and I think it could be a good idea for a filemanager too!

I second this wholeheartedly!
I also believe that tabs are a very handy feature, it should at least
be an option for users to have. The very succes of konqueror as a
filemanager proofs that (I know a lot of persons, including myself,
that use konqueror in their respective environment without ever using
kde).
But it seems that the main developers (afaik read: Benedikt) hate it
for some weird reason, I would like some good explaination on why
really (besides "bad habbit" I got thrown at in irc ;))
