Ah, ok - TMTOWTDI applies in this case as well, I guess. :) I personally don't use hotkeys for switching between tabs at all; rather, I usually ctrl-click on links that I want to follow while still reading through a document, which, combined with Mozilla's ability to load new tabs in the background, works quite nicely and effectively minimizes the time I have to wait to for pages to load - the actual loading is done while I'm still reading the page I came from. :)

Apart from that, I'm not sure who first came up with MDI, but I think I'll side with Dürrenmatt's King Romulus and take what good comes from M$, when there is something good coming from them at all. :) I also can't say that much about Opera; I have used it a couple of times when I had to deal with pages with extremely large tables while working on a slow(er) box, something that Netscape had big problems with back then, and also tried its MDI, but, like you, wasn't happy with it. Various MDIs may not seem that different, but the devil's in the detail.
