@DimanNe - The tabs in konsole are a way to quick open new terminals, that
differs from the old implementation that created a Mirror of the tabs. Both
implementations are valid of course, but the first implementation did not work
correctly with recursive splits (One vertical plus two horizontal panes).
This is the default implementation of split view for many terminals (like
Terminator, Tmux, Termix, iTerm2 and many others) so konsole was the special
case.

Familiarity is also important when you deal with working with code and I don
take ligtly modifying a widely used feature, that's why I recourred to
Usability Testing and the KDE community prior to this change, and most people
did not even know that konsole had split views before.

Now, about the old implementation: It was not broken, but it was also not a
'split view' - it was more of a 'Mirror Tabs in a separate container,
vertically or Horizontally'. This can be readded to konsole, the new is much
easier to read and to work with, so it can be reimplemented. Are you willing to
try?  :)
