Because it is an example of toolkit tabs, in this case very Gtk+ specific. 
Just to see how native toolkit tabs looks and behaves as opposed to for 
example tabbar.

Well, branches are easy with bzr, so just create your own :-).

I guess stuff like drag and drop for tabs don't work for tabbar?  That would 
be one difference if we where to mix the two.  I'll vote for either toolkit 
tabs or non-toolkit tabs, but not a mix.
