You are free to start one. But that doesn't solve to overall problem, 
that fields are not logically grouped by their functions. If you put 
some fields for visibility/access to the main tab and some to a special 
tab - where is the improvement?

I understand your concern - I also train editors - so I know the 
problems. But it's part of the admin to rearrange the fields for the 
customers needs. There will never be a overall solution for all needs - 
and every admin has it's own way to handle things. I can only speak for 
the experience I have with my (DAU) customers.

In a previous posting you suggested something like a AJAX expansion for 
palettes if I understood you correct. But where is the difference if I 
click on the AJAX button or the tab to see the fields?

I think tabs are a good way of simplifying the backend and make it more 
self explaining to the editors - but therefor the fields have to be 
strictly grouped by their functions. And the grouping has to be suitable 
for pages and tt_content to get a consistent handling.

That's my point of view.
