Your screenshot only has a couple tabs open. Try opening a dozen more tabs and watch what happens (and sure, you might not be the sort of person who normally has 20 tabs open but plenty of other people do and doing so shouldn't cause a UI fail)
> the hit boxes for selecting the tabs are hidden behind the hit box for minimizing the window
There's just the right amount of space to drag the window for me, it's the same when maximised. At no point do I minimise the window while trying to click a tab: http://i.imgur.com/DtnVhml.png
I also have my display at 125% scaling so it handles that correctly.

I can reproduce this, but I could see this being intentional. Although it wouldn't affect me as I use Win + Arrow most of the time.
> just don't expect to search for anything with a dot in the name
I set my search to Google UK and searching for all the phrases below works:
hackernews. hacker.news test hackernews. test .hackernews foo.bar.baz hackernews.xkcd news.hacker hacker.co.zz
hacker.news doesn't, but that's because I believe .news is an actual TLD.
> it crashes constantly.
I virtually never use it, but it has yet to crash for me.
> Want to click to select a tab using a pen tablet?
Either I have a good hand or it's not too difficult. And anyway, it's no worse than chrome.

If I didn't already use chrome with a bunch of extensions, I could honestly see me not bothering and just using edge. I just hope the little contest the two browsers are having continues.
Off-topic, it feels weird to argue for microsofts browser.
