Don't find much use for them personally but some are in the tabs frame of mind and some are in the buffers, whatever works for you.. I just think in buffers and the buffer list. Maybe if I have a very separate set of work going on I might want to put it in a tab. I think of tabs in Emacs more like a workspace or session (ala Tmux)

Very comfortable with Rofi. It's especially nice in a window manager as it also works as a switcher or shortcut to your open programs.

Yeah, in for the long haul. Once the knowledge base and communities build up a bit it'll be great. It'll take some time.. There's still a lot of good searchable information deep in the subreddits.
