Why is tabbed Finder useful? I do not understand the purpose

I have used the Mac for many years, but do not understand why having tabs in the Finder is useful- can anyone explain why this is a big deal? The color tags also don't seem like it adds much, but I can at least understand the organizational logic.

Why would someone open multiple Finder windows anyway?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Haha. I don't understand this either!

I guess we'll see and soon we won't be able to live without those bizarre tabs in finder!

Cheers 🙂

I still distrust any and all Hacks.

(Not to say that one or two have not found their way onto my Mac, but they never stay long)
