I think that tabs are OK in cases where the user will want to focus attention on one tab at a time, and does not need to be alerted to changes in the other tabs. I like the tab approach for setting distinct groups of configuration parameters. Putting private messages or separate IRC channels in separate tabs, though, seems like a botch.
