At the end of the day these are the decisive arguments for me:
- Button in the tabbar means Back becomes the easy top-left hit target.
- If other tabbed applications do the same, it increases consistency.
- Always visible tabbar will increase discoverability.
If the Granite notebook works well, it's key to add this to other applications, and would convince me personally it's the right design. So I suggest to get that tested in the next release.
