I guess it's down to someone needing to do the cold-blooded task 
of implementation. :-)

Personally, I found navigation using VirtuaWin nicer than 
WinTabber, and it's GPL. One can get to any app in the current 
virtual screen using one mouse click, with grouping of course 
turned off. I would have spoken out in favour of tabs too, but 
VirtuaWin, for the most part, works well enough for me to negate 
that need.
