I agree with tabbed GUI. And I'm not bothered if Eagle could display gerberfiles.

files.
NO NO NO on tabbed interface. We always use multiple monitors.
Since Eagle was separate programs always (long before "tabbed"
anything), I hope there's no chance of tabbed MDI replacing the usefully
unique separate proggrams.

There are many software packages that uses tabs. And that tabs are
detachable!!! (see google chrome for example)
So, there is a solution for everyone.
I was thinking about this problem too, and I don't consider Cadsoft
developpers capable to do such thing, in the next 5 years. just my opinion.
