The GAB

So yesterday I made sure I had my latest Time Machine update, the downloaded the huge 10.5.2 System update from Apple. All went well and everything seems to be running just fine as before. But I have a gripe. Why can't we have tabbed finder windows? Is it really hard to engineer? Does it break the UI? What's the deal? I know, I could install Cocoatechs really neat finder-replacement, Path Finder, but I've tried it (See below) and it's not for me. If you want loads of customization and uber-control over the finder, you should try it, it's great. All I want is some tabs so I can keep all my windows together and neat. What will it take to get them to allow the finder to catch up to Safari? (Yes I play Kitty Spangles Solitaire. What about it?)
