Ok, first of all, let me add something here. While the reasons to not
implement tabs and split views include maintainability, it has also
been a design decision from the start. Thunar is supposed to be simple.
There will always be people who need 20+ windows and do heavy file
management. But I assume the productiveness of the majority of users
does not depend on tabs or split view.

By the way, I object to "it's time for Xfce to become mainstream".
First of all, that's not a choice we make but something that either
does or does not happen. Also, this is not about making profit or
anything. Some people do see all this as a kind of competition, but
it isn't really. I suggest we stick to developing and maintaining a
compact desktop environment, and continue to make what we already have
better.
