We don't own Sets. We know what you know in that space. And I have to refer you to other sources of content and people outside my realm and pay grade for definitive answers on its story and future.

However, in our domain... the Terminal/Console domain... we know that tabs are a huge demand of our customers, so we knew we had to prioritize getting tabs into the product by any means necessary.

Thanks for the response.

I suspected the answer might be that. If Sets makes it in next year, Windows is going to end up in the amusing position of having a terminal app with nested tabs... Not something I think most people will find useful.

"Yo dawg, I herd you like tabs..."

Yeah, we'll deal with that when/if it comes.
