"... allocating resources to it."

So, let's ask what dev resources this would commit:

1. Replacing the GLADE based MUFFIN assemblage used for the 'Tabbed UI' with os
native code (qt, kf5, gtk4, WDM, Aqua/Cocoa)

2. give up MUFFIN (and all its dynamic UI goodness for users), because we would
have to focus dev efforts on the native os code the refactored 'Tabbed UI' and
integration for each DE would need

3. Client Side Decoration (the os/DE native code that places program features
into an application frame's title bar)

4. assuring correct focus events cross platform for assistive technology for
all that new native code

And I'm sure a bunch of facets I've missed.

Which makes for a simple (and continuing pragmatic) -1 as this contributors
perspective. There are other functional areas of UX support for ODF documents
that need the attention more than implementing a tabbed UI.
