Ever get tired of clicking Preview in the dock or Cmd+Tabbing over to go back to a document you were just looking at only for the wrong one to surface? And now you’ve got to find that open window among the 20 others open on your desktop? Wish your other apps organized windows, pages, or other documents like your browser does with tabs? Well, macOS Ventura does just that.

With tabbed windows inside macOS, you can organize multiple windows within a single window as separate tabs.

Tabbed windows are  available in Mac apps such as Mail, Maps, TextEdit, Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. And the feature works with third-party document-based apps and the Finder.

Interesting.  I’m one of those people who do not like tabs for the most part. Missing from Apple’s ecosystem is the ability to use a menu to see all the tabs. This is especially annoying in Safari and Finder. You have a menu that lists all the current windows, but ONLY shows the current tab for that window. How hard would it be to have a hierarchical menu on each window line in the menu listing all the tabs in that window?  Then I can easily find a tab and navigate directly to it.

Sadly, IMO, tabs make it way too easy to loose a “window”, only to open it again (and again) because you either don’t know where a particular tab went (especially true if you have a lot of tabs), or don’t remember it’s open in a tab somewhere because you can’t see it.
