Comment (by celloexpressions):

 Replying to [comment:25 dauidus]:
 I think we should ditch the tabs if at all possible - leads to a
 cluttered/confusing UI and probably unnecessary. We're also making it
 consistent with the generic upload control, which currently doesn't have
 tabs. Do you see a particular reason for keeping the tabs/adding them to
 the upload control?

 Implementation-wise, we should take advantage of the opportunity to
 rewrite this directly rather then hooking in, as a theme or plugin would
 do. At the same time, this should make it easier for plugins and themes to
 hook in, given the updated, js-based code structure.

 There are several plugin/theme implementations out there (including the
 one from @mattwiebe that the patch is based on), although any would
 require reworking to be ready for core.
