Try View / Document List plus in preferences you remove the tab bar.

Or, you can go with the sideways named vertical tab bar and hover the mouse on a tab and it will show the name horizontally.

Agreeing with @kahalahmawad , it would be ideal if there was an option for vertically listed tabs with horizontal orientation.

The Document List works but implementation of actual vertical tabs would work better.
