I might try it next week, but if you'd mention Sideberry's advantages over TST that would be great.

Sideberry lets you turn off the "tree" feature and just have the vertical tabs.
The whole point of vertical tabs is so you have enough characters visible to tell what the tab is. Tab trees waste this precious space.
the settings UI is absolutely awful;
depending on which appearance you choose, it either looks ugly or blurs together;
it frequently has visual glitches;
could certainly be more customisable appearance and shortcut-wise;
doesn’t allow you to have a title or marker as the top level tab;
as far as I can tell doesn’t let you save a session of tabs;
has an unpleasant glitch where if you drop a tab in the wrong place it’ll disappear behind the current window and never be reachable;
the new tab behaviour irritates me;
and probably a few more complaints that I’d have to actually open it up to remember
