Actually although this breaks with the usual look, it is much more useable
when you are working with a file with several pages/spreadsheets/tabs
If you a have a file with a few tabs (or the tab names are longer than
SheetN), you end up with an horizontal scroll bar that is minimal and very
ineffective.
It is a bit odd that the tab is not visually connected to the spreadsheet
but the gain in usability clearly compensates.

Maybe the shape of the tab could be the usual trapezoid instead a rectangle
(that could be confused with a cell). But that is up to the Design/UX people
to advise... As a user I have no idea how harder it is to program
trapezoidal instead of rectangular tabs.

Just my 2 cents.
