I think the reason I don't like the tabs having all four corners rounded
is because they're supposed to emulate the tabs on a file folder. When I
look in my filing cabinet, I don't see any file folders with tabs that
have four rounded corners and floating above the actual folders.

As for the overall appearance and rounding the corners on other stuff
like the address field, changes like this just for the sake of change
are a waste of time IMO.

Of course, YMMV.
