Yes. I can see tabs, and click them with a mouse, they can have a meaningful title, and I can use spacial memory to associate them with tasks. "Tests = second last tab" is more natural for me to remember than "Tests = virtual terminal 7", and clicking with the mouse is much faster for me than remembering, and typing, "Ctrl-A 7".
