Many times per day I do an action on all repos in a group, especially pull. Push sometimes. Rebase the current branch to master. While some of my groups have only a few repos, most of my groups have 15-25 repos.
I regularly use the "Open Repository in New Window" on a group feature. Having SG features that work on repo groups just as they do on a single group would greatly lessen the hassle of manually selecting many repos in a group. This particularly includes push/pull.

lol I use repositories view *all the time*. I like it; a tree organizes the repos into groups and groups of groups. I have between 20 and 30 "top level" groups (stopped counting at 20) and many have nested groups and groups of groups. I have (guessing) well over a hundred repos across these groups. The repositories view allows me to decently organize them and quickly open a group of repos.
I can't think of how tabs would help improve anything, especially with simply "open a repo and keep the current ones open". Plus, I can't see a good location for tabs or room for them.
In case repo groups help your situation like they do mine - I put related repos in groups (and subgroups) and then use the group name context menu: right-click -> Open Repository. It opens all repos in the group. Open Repository in New Window also works on groups. I sometimes have 2 - 3 SG main windows open, each on a different repo group.
For me, I resolve any open multi-repo situation with Open Repository on a group name.
I *knew* I shoulda looked...
Perhaps a config option for "vertical" and "horizontal" branch list orientation.
Well, I just set mine to a comma and it stays on 1 line too. What happens if you switch it back to comma? I think the space is better tho, but still this is curious.
Set avatar.size property.
I suggest exploring the low level properties to see what other gems you may appreciate!
I set log.details.headerValueSeparator to a space and it keeps things on one line (wrapping if necessary).
Wish this one had more love - SG sometimes closes the repos so I have to reopen them; I also swap work sometimes and may forget to do "Open in New Window" choice.
Shift clicking the repos in first group is easy, but Ctrl+clicking the subsequent repos in other groups is tedious.
Contrarily, I don't have time for videos. I find docs more valuable - searchable, skimmable, quicker to use; videos are neither searchable nor skimmable, and slower to process. Particularly, I find "How-To" FAQs w/searchable content (1 page or via an engine) or improved doc organization much more useful.
