The problem is not whether there are 4387 updates a day fixing relatively insignificant issues. The problem is that no one knows anything about major items on the road map. When will mac-o-philes have their chrome? No one knows. When will add-on junkies like me will have a satisfactory chrome? No one knows. When will there be a substantial options dialog, one containing more than 3 (figuratively) options, or something akin to firefox's about:config? No one knows. It is possible to extend the missing features list to sate different tastes. The point is that, Google comes up with something nice, nice enough to attract people, but does not deliver its promises (to develop an API for chrome, to add video calls to gtalk, to make "when a tab crashes all the browser won't" claim true also in practice, to complete "google in your language" translations etc.) or does not try to better the product (to fix googledocs so that it does not suck that much, and so on).
Instead we are offered old snakey and themes support in Gmail. Yes, they were just the things we were looking for. I really don't believe any more that google or the development community gathered around chromium will deliver the promised goods. Hopefully, I'll regret saying that.
