yes, there are enhancements.
* dynTabs doesn't look really like tabs, difficult to style, plans to 
change them are there for a long time now
* code is much smaller, the php and js one
* dyntabs are difficult to save status of open tab. It's done numeric, 
so if you add a tab saved status is wrong
* extTabs has a scrolling feature: no second row, all tabs are in one 
row. If space doesn't fit you get a scroller
* easy to use API to change a tab, add dynamic, disable, open a tab etc.

these are some, may be there are more.
