I figured out a way to explain it Earlier today, I figured out how to explain my use of tabs in Emacs to Emacs users who don't use them and wonder why they're useful. It's simple: Think of tabs as different kinds of desktops. They can be full screen desktops, or split into different buffers. That's one way of looking at it. So you end up with a set of Emacs "desktops" which are even saved when you restart Emacs.
