No, I didn't say that. But now you mention it, it's not.

There's some odd psychology that must apply to users of these tools. 
Some prefer to click and go back and click and go back, while others 
prefer tabs. It's like preferring Internet Explorer to Firefox. I'd 
never thought of Gnome as the interface for IE users, but now I 
understand its popularity :-)

functionality.
