I think it's equivalent to having books open to a page and set to the side of a work area.
Whereas a browser bookmark is like it's analog cousin, a mark stuck in the book and returned to the shelf.
Tabs allow for better singular focus than stacked windows. I use desktop workspaces/multiple desktops in much the same way I use tabs. If I have multiple monitors, I'll put a group of related applications together in a workspace, but rarely will I put more than a single application on a monitor.
Eg editor on one screen, terminal on the next and a browser (UI work) or DB interface on the 3rd. Which is the same way I organize my kitchen when cooking. Recipe on one side, prep in the middle, output on the other.
