Ion also has the popular mintabs extension, which removes the title bar
when there's only one tab.  I prefer this behavior.  It can make it a
little confusing to tell which mode you're in, but I think it's worth the
real estate.  It'll be especially useful if my ideas of nesting layouts
work out, and we start having much smaller tabbed layouts on a portion of
the screen--where you really don't want to waste space on unnecessary
tabs.
