I believe I read another comment (either on list or in a jira, I forget) 
indicating they preferred tabs because having multiple views open for 
terminals to multiple systems will clog the workbench. I don't have a 
strong preference over 'tabs' vs  a dropdown to select the active 
terminal (similar to console), but I do agree that having each 
connection in its own view will lead to a very cluttered feel.

I suppose maximum flexibility would be to allow behavior similar to 
console view, where there's a dropdown to select a console but you also 
have the ability to open a second view if you wish.
