I actually use OmniWeb's tab drawer in its titles-only mode. I enjoy that beacuse it lets me have lots and lots of tabs open, but still see all of them, and a significant portion of the title. The standard across-the-top tab implementations just don't scale well with large numbers of tabs. The other killer OW feature I use all the time is its search shortcuts, which lets you type searches directly into the address bar, e.g. "g apple" to search for "apple" on Google. I've got about 40 of the darn things set up, including Wikipedia, IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, Amazon, Netflix, VersionTracker, etc. I have pretty much the same hierarchy going: OmniWeb for day-to-day, Safari when something doesn’t work in OmniWeb, and then Firefox when something doesn’t work in Safari.
