Way to call most of the people in this thread stupid...
I wish it was an option to put them back on top.

The tabs in the title bar were simply horrible. Worst UI idea ever. Good riddance. I might have liked to see Chrome-style tabs — tabs on top do rock, as long as they're not part of the friggin' title bar — but going back to the Safari 3 style is fine with me.
New page loading indicator is at least pretty noticeable, unlike the spinner from the beta. Not as good as the old progress bar, but the next best thing. It does provide a larger target to click on to stop the loading of a page (the whole thing is a button).

I didnt like the tabs on top at first, then got used to it, now it seems wrong again... it's not a real big issue but hopefully an option would be good.
I think the 'loading' bit is an improvement over the spinning circle, but their still needs to be a progress indicator somewhere!
I found Glims plugin the other day, sorts the 'open in new window/tab' annoyance out and lets you change the search engine. I'm not sure it works perfectly with Safari 4, but it does work. Some of you might find it useful.

nope, both changes are bad.
The tabs change was uncalled for and ridiculous, also the loading graphic is huge and unnecessary. The spinning indicator was enough.
also the reload button is now in the wrong place, miles away from the page forward and back , with no way to move it .... well done apple, yet another software backstep 
I never liked the tabs on the top, I used the terminal command with the beta to move them to under the bar so I don't really care. Everything seems the same so far.
I still get ridiculously long hangups with flash videos and ads a lot, beachball will show up when the page is loading a flash element and won't unfreeze for like half a minute until I command-option-escape, once the force quit window shows up it unfreezes. Happens most of the time when I fullscreen a flash video too, but I've had this problem since safari 3.

Hmmm I've never noticed that before but I think your right... might be easier to tell with a progress bar though...
At first i didn't like the tabs on top, but after using it for a while it started to make a lot of sense. It made keeping track of lots of tabs and lots of windows A LOT easier. You could have multiple windows open and see all the available tabs and which ones were active. It was also easier to read the tab labels when they were on top and the bookmark bar was directly above.
Very disappointed.

This is by far the fastest browser I have ever used. It's awesome. I even opened all 155 of my bookmarks in tabs and it was still running fine. Oh and by the way since everyone has to have their opinion about the tabs, I like them better on the bottom. I'm just used to that location form firefox.
