I agree, It's not intuitive that italic/bold/underlined/etc means some
kind of status, not talking about witch status each referees.

Agreed to, if you have a lot of tabs open, and you want to see all of
them, use vertical tabs so you can see a lot more.

I don't understand why people (without a 800x600 display) wants to
have all things smaller and smaller, ok, I don't like something using
half of my display showing something I don't want, but I think the
status in the tab isn't to big to be a problem and is really useful.

I'm with Lukas, I used to have more than 5 tabs open, if I want to
talk with someone I don't like to go to the buddy list or tab around
all conversations or decipher a freaking formatted text in the tab to
look if is he still online.
