emacs tabs more vim-like

I'm currently trying emacs coming from vim. There is only one thing I desperately miss : tabs (in a GUI sense). I know TabBarMode but it doesn't keep the division of windows (with C-x 3 for example) from tab to tab while Vim does it. Is there any plugin for emacs that handle tabs in a more vim-like way?

Emacs users know that tabs of all types are evil. :-) This must explain why this particularly useful metaphor has not caught fire among Emacs users. We're still waiting for a good, easy, implementation of GUI tabs, IMHO.

There is some promising (but young) development work (see Gtk tabs in emacs, new branch.) going on to do GTK tabs in Emacs. And you'll be happy to know that there is some competent enthusiasm currently at play in the wide new land of distributed Emacs development. However, even though Emacs development is proceeding at quite a pace (by comparison with recent history, it's breakneck!), it may be a while before GUI tabs 'just work.'
