Idk man I just prefer having tab titles visible for quicker navigation. If I'm actually doing some long form reading, full screen is one key press away

Why wouldn't they be visible?

Vertical tabs let you see way more tab titles than horizontal tabs that start reducing the width when horizontal space runs out.

Main reason I use vertical tabs.

Yes I think i was thinking of the compact view of the vertical tab bars. Then I would say it's just the aesthetics for me. As a left to right reader, it feels the tab titles habe a lots prominent presence than the main content. It's a matter of getting used to then.
