Hoary - gedit no longer open files in tabs by default

[Matt Galvin]

Well I opened a bug on this. Its bug #6829. Maybe what we need is for
gedit to have this behavior be a configurable preference, since some
of us like it one way and some of us like the other way.

A preference for this would make everybody happy :), IMHO.
