--- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
The Vertical Tab implementation only came in at 25.2, with some issues of
consistency in the UI handling of the VerticalTabControl() and the legacy
TabControl() that have required roll-back and more measured progress.

In general the vertical tab bar layouts are more comfortable than the shifting
horizontal tab bar motif, make better use of available screen space.

But we can not only consider GTK (gtk3/gtk4), impact and appearance on the vcl
backends for other DE (gen, win, macOS, kf5/kf6) have to be considered as UI
dialogs are migrated to vertical tab layouts.

Expect ,oving more of the dialog layouts to vertical tabs will proceed, but
incrementally.
