It is not unusual to have tens or even hundreds buffers in Emacs.
Can you imagine a tab bar with hundreds tabs? It would occupy
the whole screen.
But really switching between buffers is not a problem, because Emacs
already provides many different ways to do this: the top-level menu
"Buffers", <C-mouse-1> pop-up menu, `C-x b' key, several packages like
buff-menu.el, ebuff-menu.el, ibuffer.el, iswitchb.el, ido.el, etc.
What Emacs still misses is a feature to group several frames,
window configurations, work areas, perspectives (these are
different names for almost the same thing) in the tab bar.
