FWIW, I think this is a nice change. If I edit more than, say, 5 files, I can't use a tab for each file anyways. For just two to three tabs, the icons give the tabs a much nicer look (at least on GTK, where most tabs include file icons. In OS X, tabs usually don't have file icons, so I wouldn't want it in the OS X version).
