I definitly like it more to have the option to configure additional tabs.
Like you see in the example you can configure a tab which is called 
"News" and where you only see the sysfolder with news.
That is really nice to teach to an editor: "If you want to link to a 
news - just select "News" Tab and select your newsitem"

The behaviour of "page" tab now is that if you click on a page directly 
the link is generated. Its even more difficult to tell an editor to 
first click on that little ">" icon right to the page and then select 
your record.
