I think we'll need a combination of these options.  On my laptop I 
don't have enough horizontal space for two editor windows with 
sidebars, so I'd prefer scrolling tab bars.  At the lab I have plenty 
of space for sidebars so they would be better.

I would argue that the one option we can live without is multiple rows 
of tabs, but I wouldn't object too strenuously if somebody else really 
wants them.
