I don't even use the tabs; I don't really see the point. Why have a tab when you can open and close a new window just as easily? But anyway...
Opening another tab uses less memory than opening a new window. Also, it's so nice and organized.
Well... hm... in the future, the memory management will be done more effectively, but right now the memory usage of, say, 10 tabs compared to 10 windows is about 2~5% higher on a Windows box. Nothing that will get in the way of anything, as that's insignificant in any box with over 128 MB.
However, about the why use tabs question: because it's much more organized. You can have many sites open at the same time and still not clutter your taskbar. All of the browser-related things stay in one place, very accessible, easy to recognize and mess around with.
