Database GUI tools - Tree view vs Tabbed view

This is a survey, for purpose of a GUI design, so each answer will get points.

Which do you prefer? The tabbed view (Toad's default), or Tree view (SQL Server Management Studio, SQL Developer, PL/SQL Developer and Toad's alternative view). Explain why.

Are there any alternative object browser approaches you'd like to see in the tool you currently use?

Thanks!

Yes, I sure am. Starting with Oracle, then will expand it to multi-database support.

Thanks, I also like PL/SQL Developer's approach.

Yes, absolutely. I will give a free license to EE experts. Email me offline for a private beta.

Thanks for the good suggestion. I also like the Office approach, and I agree, the Tree view has been done for so long, it makes me want to think of something better.

I think will give that a try!

Thanks for the input. Going to stick with tabbed view for now, but am prototyping an Office style sidebar too.
