I have to admit that when I first saw this feature a few years ago, I 
thought it was really neat only to be disappointed that the "module" as 
really a special content item...  There actually ARE modules that do 
this tabbed interface without depending on special content items.

That said...at the end of the day I'm completely fed up with all the 
different template clubs.  Each one has made such a convoluted system in 
the feature race, that you basically need to learn Joomla! + specific 
template coding stuff...

One of these days....  on my crackdream list is setting up a template 
library that is just basic template stuff instead of all the "cool" 
features.

OTOH, Joomla Zen Garden templates may deal with this problem in 1.6
