That really depends on your use case. I am all in for creating and reusing components with subflows, but in some projects, it is really _that_ much. We had to split one logical topic into multiple tabs, because there wasn't enough canvas space (at least vertically).

And that leads to the next issue, when you get too many tabs... 🙈

> I think that would be just a short-term solution to the real issue: a better overview and navigation of your tabs in larger-sized projects. We have projects at work with +30 tabs. Hiding any of them would not make sense, as you often need to jump between them. That is really painful at the moment, even with the new search box. (I can give a more detailed description of our use case, if anyone is interested) A tab list that uses the vertical space, that is always visible and scrollable by mouse…
