The UI of Lotus Symphony is a pale representation of the tabs that were
available in Lotus SmartSuite (word processing) documents (which was
IMHO excellent for document navigation). Additionally, the UI tabbed
interface of current Lotus Symphony is apparently not part of anything
that IBM will be releasing to the public domain any time soon (it was
developed with Eclipse and Java and has special closed licensing issues
from what I understand).

There was a GSOC project to bring a tabbed interface to OOo in the
version 1.x.x branches, but it never got integrated by Sun at the time,
and the code didn't work in the 2.x.x branches, so assuming it could be
found, it would need a complete rewrite.
