  As soon as there are enough tasks in the task bar, that you can not any longer read the title at a glimpse or the tasks start to group the task bar, it looses so much of its usefulness. 
  In groups you have to hover , wait, move the mouse and click to activate a task and if the labels are too small you either have to wait for the hover or guess.
  
  With this possibility to make applications with only one instance open like an IDE, a music player, chat, mail, ... to show as icon only in the task bar, the point where the tab bar looses it usefulness comes much later.
  
  To mee, this is very similar to pinning tabs in browsers. And in my opinion that is one of the best UI improvements in browsers in the recent years. It makes tab organization so much clearer, since one can have a lot more tabs open before you need to scroll to see all.
