I tried firefox's panorama, but I didn't find it particularly useful. It feels too tacked on to the interface. It reminds me more of Vista's Aero Flip than anything: cool to try out a few times but doesn't make anything easier.

Hrm, the Aero Flip comparison is kind of fair, in that Panorama provides another way of looking at your data. They serve different functions, though: Panorama is really about keeping different sets of tabs neatly organized so that you can focus on one task at a time.
Aero Flip... well, I'm not sure what its purpose is :) 'Ooh, cool...'

When you start having around 12 tabs open at a time, it's incredibly useful to be able to take a few of them and nudge them into another group. Poof! Your 12 tabs now look like 4, which is much more manageable. But the other 8 are still there just a Ctrl-Space away.

I don't think Panorama should be built in, but rather an official extension. I don't really have any use for it. It honestly feels like Mozilla is getting kinda desperate for new features, which is sad since they have no need to be. Their extension ecosystem is far superior to Chrome and will be for a long time to come since Google seems unwilling to open up their extension API.
