How does it compare with tabbar.el? I use that, and generally like it.

Unsolicited feedback: Too much wasted horizontal space. 

See tabbar.el, for example: there is no horizontal space between the tabs (other
than their borders).

I customized the default tabbar.el faces, however - the default faces are
unreadable on Windows, IMO. Attached is a screenshot showing the faces I use, to
give you an idea of what I mean about the horizontal space.

HTH.
