Exactly what I had HOPED/tried to say: monster-browser= application-centric; mc= data centric.
Applications have short lives & relate to the latest buzz-word "experience". Data has long life & if you lose your data, you're screwed. I'm getting to like some of the facilities of kde. For me kde, wraps multiple msS which each wrap a dir. The ultimate items of value are the files. I.e. a data centric view. Which is [just by coincidence] the O.O. view: the 'methods'/fetch-utilities can change: I use a script of lists of URLs, via lynx -dump '<URL>' >> accuimulator to fetch most httpS, these days. I've been continually refining my 'fetch utilities'. So, you don't want your data to be married to it's fetcher.
