→Pro: multiwindow tabless browsing - there are some equally strong counter examples.
* Clarity: Closing the tab and closing the window are two very different things - one means "I'm done with the current block of information, but this app is still useful to me", and the other means "this entire app is no longer of any use to me" - they are conceptually different things. At the moment this is being muddied by having the meaning of Ctrl-W change between these two things, depending on context.
* Faster: Can close all tabs by holding down ctrl-W for 1 second, which is faster than switching to the mouse.
* Firefox supports multiwindow tabless browsing; ctrl-w closing the document but not the window is consistent with applications such as MS Office 2000.
