Maybe this is flamebait in this newsgroup, but that's not my intention.
People who have tried Opera on Linux migtht ask themselves if Opera
isn't a lot closer to what Mozilla should be than Mozilla itself (wrt
functionality, I'm not speaking about the open source/license).
I really think that Mozilla has passed the point where every bugfix
sooner or later causes (in average) more than one new bug.
To quote Bill Lee (20010518 10:44): "I think everyone's bumping into
each other in a large dark room trying to get all the bugs fixed post
haste."
It would probably be a good business proposition for AOL/TW to let
Mozilla find its own course with less pressure, buy Opera Software A/S,
and let them customize Opera to get the top-quality browser they so long
waited for. And maybe learn something about how to create better software!
