POLL: Safari 4 tabs

I like it on the top, however the dragging tabs is a pain, the close button is on the wrong side? and sometimes when you want to drag the window you open a tab etc.
I love safari 4, except i HATE THE LOADING BAR!

agreed, targeted clicking should NOT be required more and more, its the backward development.
I don't mind it but I hate the implementation. It breaks a few fundamental design rules of osx, draggable area is too small, too difficult to drag a link to the right area of the plus symbol and it just looks plain sloppy. Google has a far better implementation and I can't even stand chrome. Another thing that surprised me is that even though safari is faster, they still have not decreased the memory footprint. Btw where are my iTunes scrollbars!
You can tell they'll do the same thing with the finder when all is said and done. I just hope they perfect the interface by the time snow leopard is released.
The best description so far is on daring fireball. Gruber nailed it right on the head.

With a few tweaks to it, I'd prefer it so I didn't vote as hate is too strong a word.
It needs the tweaks listed above but I also think the active tab should be highlighted in some way (coloring the frame perhaps).

When i downloaded the beta, I used new tabs for an hour then gave up and went back to old style.
After a couple of days I switched back to new, since then I haven't gone back to old again. It's just a matter of getting used to it.
Was just gonna ask how to drag tabs but I just noticed the little thing in the top right of each tab to do it.

I love them on top, but it'd be ridiculously awesome if Apple added an option (or if somebody made an addon) that removes the close/move buttons on tabs and instead lets you middle-click to close and middle-drag to move.
Glims achieves this - to an extent. Favicons replace the close icons and middle-click close is an option.
Why not write to the authors to suggest the other things. Those guys are very receptive to input.
Bleh, I hate the new tabs. Fortunately, I'm using the old tabs and toolbar in safari thanks to Terminal 
You don't find it easier to look at the tabs and click on the one you want without using Expose?
I like Safari 3 but with Safari 4's topsites feature.
I don't like the Google Chrome-style tabs.

Actually, no, I do not. I use a dedicated mouse button for Expose and all I need to do to switch windows in Safari is to the button and move the mouse ever so slightly.
Maybe it is just me, but I find Expose and Command-~ to be the two most useful means of switching between Safari windows. Neither of these works for switching between tabs, where you actually have to move the mouse all the way to the top of the screen, which is much less convenient for me...
