I group my tabs in separate windows and let my window manager take care of managing them. Maybe this is good in some Chrome OS style netbook?
Sure, the contextual search (or whatever it was) seemed cool but elementary tasks like organizing my tabs/windows should be simple. Soon I'll have to switch my mental mode just to get my head to this fancy tab-organize mode.

One nice thing about Tab Candy is that it's invisible until you choose to use it. You can use tabs and windows just like you always have, and nothing will change.
Watch ten different people use web browsers, and you'll see they have very different usage styles. Tab Candy addresses some problems experienced by many but not all users, and does it without impacting the others. (You could say the same about virtual desktops in X11 or Spaces in Mac OS X.)
If it really is independent, please keep it an extension and don't bake it into vanilla Firefox.
It doesn't just impact bewildered users that never asked for it and devs/users of existing extensions that are now sidelined -- it completely fucks your upstream development cycle, since changes to the chrome are lumped in with and gated by rendering engine changes.
It's a fundamental mistake that y'all and many others in the industry have been making for years. Microsoft stopped bundling some of their apps with Win7 for this reason, and Google has finally stopped bundling core user apps with their most recent Android release so that users have any hope of getting current versions.
I agree with yason. I rather enjoy having segregated spaces, for work, normal, university etc. That way I'm looking at articles related to work, I have the ability to switch to an IDE and do work. The only other option is to have everything in 1 space and that's not preferable.
