Safari-tab? What do they mean?

The article doesn't contain the term 'Safari-tab'. It does have 'Safari-like tabs' in it, by which I would imagine they mean tabs, like you get in the Safari user interface.

what happens if the app already have tabs inside? Like sublime for example

Will they update the unix layer? A lot of the CLI tools there are positively prehistoric. Maybe while they're at it they can add a real package manager too.

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-dupes is your friend.

In OS X, the X is the tenth version of Mac OS. So this new version is now "Mac OS 10: macOS." Unless they bump the version number, that is. Then it would be "Mac OS 11: macOS."

'X' could potentially also stand for Xnu or uniX.

wow. what a great innovation. rename the damn thing and auto unlock. i hoped for new stuff. even a /bin/bash upgrade would be nice. I mean:

    GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin15)
    Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

but, no. all we get every year are either 3d icons, or flat icons, round corners, new name...

They won't, they don't want to touch any GPLv3 code.

Will this make the OS suck less? Seriously, at least for my use case, and in my opinion, OS X has been on a downward trend for a while (since 10.6). They need to fix the bugs, and get back to a nice stable OS that "just works." That's all I'm interested in.
