I absolutely agree with you. There are plenty of source files I might traverse to and end up quickly navigating out of it... yet I don't want them to take a priority in which tabs to keep. IDEA could use a simple heuristic, like wether it was edited or not and the length of time that the source file was in view... and this would be much better than what is currently done.
