multiple files aren't new

I don't understand why the author or anyone would have multiple xterms with vim editing a single file in each one. Vim always allowed editing multiple files (previously known as buffers). So what do tabs do? To me they just provide a different interface to the multiple files that always existed. Don't get me wrong I'm not criticizing tabs. The "tabdo" command looks pretty slick.
