The idea of a tab control is to neatly and accessibly package stuff that doesn't always fit onto one screen.
There are plenty of folks who have problems doing that on bioth the front panel and the block diagram.
I would like to be able to have a tab control in the block diagram. It is almost what a stacked sequence is, except it doesn't have to operate in sequence, and it has slightly different usability.
I would like to be able to show sub-vi's on a different tab, so I can easily switch. I'm doing it in a different window, so that isn't a huge change, but it is a cleaner change. It would be nice for use with structured programming. It would allow a different tabs to have the different structural components, and even good annotations, so readability is enhanced, and performance is not degraded. It might be nice to be able to have a textbox windown that attaches to an edge, like the "content with caption" powerpoint slide.
A VI like this could be exported to PowerPoint, with one slide per page, and allow presentations. At work, I have to present to my peers. I get peer review. In college I had to present to class or professors. Putting something like that into the DNA can substantially improve readability.
