I can't understand why there are no tabs of any kind. Need to find a file in some other chat or channel and get back to where you were? Leave, find file, come back, post. Why?

And why can I search for chat logs and only find the exact line I searched for, but not the context it was posted in?

I have never used Slack professionally, and Teams did make my life easier when it came to not sending E-mail all the time or having all types of editors and programs there for us to work collaboratively, but the interface, memory hogging, slow loading, no progress bars for downloading (no download management at all! Click on a huge file by accident? It's getting downloaded, no way to stop it!). Have I clicked a button or not? No way of knowing until the thing loads, and that sometimes takes a second.

Microsoft never puts tabs in their UIs. Examples: Entire Office suite, Explorer (which still has no tabs, even in Windows 11) or literally anything except the web browser, which has tabs because Opera.

They do have tabs in the office suite, for the toolbars. And there are those annoying settings windows where the tab rows swap places when you switch tab.

These aren't tabs in the sense GP means, because they don't allow you to do something with multiple documents or such.

Yes, Microsoft GUIs are riddled with tabs of the other kind.

Visual Studio (Code) have tabs as far as my hazy memory reaches back.
