Is there a way to modify the Open Terminal command so that it uses tabs with Terminal.app? I have been trying to do this but my applescript-fu is weak. :/

I see there is plenty of support for this in the scripting dictionary, but I also don't get AppleScript.

I tried first:

tell app "Terminal" to return tabs of first window

This worked fine, so then I tried:

tell app "Terminal" to make new tab in first window

That gave me:

Terminal got an error: Can't make or move that element into that container. (-10024)

And then I gave up :)

I have honestly always been very surprised by the inconsistent scripting support among Apple apps.

That said, this works beautifully in iTerm:
---
tell application "iTerm"
    activate
    tell the first terminal
       launch session "Default Session"
    end tell
end tell
