Vertically Tabbed Workspaces are constraining Blender's potential

Time to revisit this old chestnut...

It was bound to happen. There is only a limited supply of unmanaged, vertical space and a plethora of very desirable add-ons all begging for a place a the table. Some have short names and others have crazy long names, they all have one thing in common. They occupy the same space. There are even some add-ons to help manage the clutter caused by the continued adherence to this outmoded tabbed concept. That alone should be a red flag in the design...

Perhaps the Asset Browser could point the way to a simple ,configurable dropdown menuing system where users could create groups and organize their add-ons in useful and meaningful ways? Look at the flexibility that the solution provides for categorizing otherwise unwieldy information.
