Tab Mix Plus already addresses several of the pain points he mentions, such as needing to scroll (my tab bar goes across three rows and shrinks tabs much smaller than default if necessary) and fragmentation (new tabs open just to the right of my current one).

The rest... some bits of it look good. A lot of it is covered by existing features. A lot of the rest of it looks a bit too swooshy for me - like it doesn't look like it'd lend itself well to keyboard shortcuts. I could be wrong - something like Starcraft-style "press 1 to go to group 1, press Ctrl-1 to move the current tab to group 1" could work.
