Okay, thanks for the pointer, this definitely helps. I can at least improve my situation with MMTabOptimumWidth. From my testing it appears that MMTabMaxWidth and MMTabMinWidth don't have any effect at all which I suppose is inline with your further explanation: > The PSMTabBarControl framework that MacVim uses does support setting > all tabs to fit the tab label length but it worked poorly and so was > disabled way back (if I remember correctly).

I would definitely be in support of adding this as a hidden default that people such as myself can turn on. Who knows, maybe the issues have been cleaned up in newer versions of OS X. As far as following Apple's standard behavior, I'm in full agreement as long attention is paid to applying the standards correctly. In the case of Safari vs TextMate style tabs, I'd say they both get their respective use case correct. The difference in a text editor is that filenames tend to be shorter with fewer outliers compared to HTML titles and URLs. For a programmer I think additional metrics apply such as greater likelihood of common prefixes, and greater utility of maximizing the quantity of onscreen tabs. Anyway, just food for thought.
