That really depends on your browsing habit.

I, for one, generally look at a page, open all interesting links in new tabs 
until I'm done with current page. The i close the main page. I expect to find 
myself to the first link I opened. Read it, close it, and expect to be on the 
2nd interesting link...

Best example I guess is site like slashdot. Open main page, then open all 
interesting stories in new tabs, than Ctrl-W (or whatever your shortcut is) 
through every articles...

(This is also standard mozilla/firebird behavior, btw.)

But I also understand why some people would like to go back to previous tabs 
in other cases...
