As a vim user, what is so special about "chrome tabs"? I thought SublimeText already had very chrome-like tabs. Am I missing something?

It's more about merging the tabs and the window title bar together (and putting contextual menus and navigation items underneath)

What makes those chrome tabs? The extra wasted space?

You may be able to do that in Sublime Text 2 with a theme (not positive, but I use themes that modify the tab appearance now).

edit: Here's a theme that has what looks like "Chrome tabs" to me: http://devthemez.com/themes/zenburn

The tabs being in the title bar, I guess

I think the focus is less on the tabs being Chrome-like, and more on the file path and menu integration. Click the buttons on the bottom of the page to check them out.

Seem interesting. Sadly, the "bookmark bar" menu wouldn't really work for OSX but it could just use the file path instead.

Are Sublime's tabs not sufficiently "chrome-like"? They can be pulled away to create a new window, moved between panes and windows, and reordered, pretty much exactly like Chrome's.

The only real difference is how ctrl+tab works, but that's not that big a deal.

This directly breaks groups/panes (viewing several files in parallel with their own tab lists).
