Put this down as Wishlist, if you like, but I would argue that this is
established behaviour in web browsers. There was a paradigm shift from
multiple windows to multiple tabs in order to reduce clutter, and all
major browsers on all PC and tablet platforms today subscribe to this
paradigm. It is easier to shift between tabs in the same window, as
compared to windows (which would require activating Scale when there are
several windows open). It is also easier to drag between tabs as the
distance travelled by the mouse would be smaller. Even without a mouse,
Ctrl+C, Alt+#, Ctrl+V is easier than switching windows because Alt+Tab
is now an application switcher rather than a window switcher.

Title:
  clicking on folder with open Nautilus instance should open in new tab

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  OS: Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric stable 32-bit
  Application: Nautilus 3.2.1

  When you open a folder placed on the desktop or open a desktop from
  the Dash when an instance of Nautilus is already open, the folder
  should open in a new tab instead of a new instance. This makes file
  transfer, etc easier and reduces the clutter on the desktop.
