I agree.

Maybe it should show columns:
file name, window id, tab id and arglist id
or even omit tab id by default and only include other tab pages when
a bang is used. I think it is better to organize the list by tab page id
and window id rather by arglist id, since it will be easier to find the
correct arglist id.
Something like:
tabdo windo echo printf('%2d %4d %4d %s', tabpagenr(), winnr(), arglistid(),
bufname('%'))
(but without the drawback of landing in a different window/tab page)
