+1 for this sentiment.

What is frustrating about this change is that it feels imposed rather than offered. The great thing about the modular design of obsidian is that if you don’t want to use a feature you can just turn it off or ignore it. That choice is not available for tabs!
Take the shortcuts for new tabs/tab groups. It would have made more sense, to my mind, to give the new feature the new shortcut (ctrl/cmd+alt+Enter/Click etc), rather than making everyone change what they are doing. It is not like the people who want to use the new feature have to change what they are doing, since the feature wasn’t there before.
Just to be clear I don’t have anything against tabs themselves, and I can see myself using them under some circumstances (tabs for different workspaces would be great!!). I just don’t want to be told I have to use them when it doesn’t make sense for me to.
