Perhaps (as in gVim these tabs looks like tabs you will find in all other programs) the design of tabs or the naming should change.
How about work: instead of tab: with a second tab layers with your buffers so that you have the feeling they act as a workspace. Are buffers always attached to one tab (workspace)? If I open files with --remote-tab-silent They end up in a tab but also in a buffer. If I then close the tab I still have them in my buffer. Very confusing. This is one of the reasons I only use tabs for the past 6 years of vim usage.
