Scrollable tabs on the side panel (when you have too many addons).
Can we have a scrollable tabs in the side panel? At the moment it’s impossible to select the tabs when you have so many addons.

You're not alone with this issue. The sidebar being the default place for addons is not ideal. Seemingly every addon creates a new tab cluttering the UI and making things hard to find. There probably is a need for a more fundamental redesign as this issue may become worse from requiring operators to be found in the UI to come up in the search. The devs are aware of this though. There is a design task and a thread on the devtalk forums discussing improvements to the sidebar. So there is hope :)
* @lone_noel * thank you. I didn’t know they were working on it. Hope they will make it a priority.
I hope this gets some love soon. It seems every set of tabs or menu bars in 2.8+ is scrollable, (e.g. even properties etc if the panel is small), so why not this one. Seems like it should be a straightforward fix, until the real fix arrives ;)
* @Stephen Hamacek * Here is a mock-up made by one of the Blender devs (from the UI team): developer.blender.org/T76023
Tbh, I don't like it that much.
