personally I dont even understand why one would not want tabs, especially in such a heavy window orientated enviroment like Pharo. Sure if I better solution existed yes, but even in MacOS while mission control existed for quite some time (offers a bird eye view of opened windows) still Apple was forced to implement tabs even inside Finder. Tabs are actually a standard feature for all applications nowdays and is strange that Pharo has hidden it inside menus.
I completely agree with you that drag and drop or at least some other easy to use solution would be ideal.
