vertical tabs

Further, I read side to side. Reading down a list vertically feels like a chore.

Yep, that's a nicely succinct description of what I wrote earlier about "too much eye motion shifting focus of attention" with OW5's vertical tabs.

That may be contributing to objections some people have with the implementation even when they don't specifically express it. I haven't seen any indication from OmniGroup that they feel this is a significant usability issue for certain (potential) customers, where the benefits simply aren't compelling enough to overcome weaknesses.
