Sliding Tabs.....Use it or Avoid it?

Sliding tabs are the ones that are shown below with 3 possible interactions. Sliding tabs are used when the content shown could be divided into different sections. 

1. Tapping on the Tab

2. Swipe on the Tab bar

3. Swipe on content area
Is it a good idea to use the sliding tabs on a mobile screen? There could be both horizontal sliding and also vertical sliding. How intuitive are these interactions and will it enhance or effect the user experience?? 

It could be difficult to even slide the tabs in the tab bar as shown in the below screen:
