My gripes with Nutscrape (Netscape):
1) Very often when reading mail and news (and it sucks with the news
articles if they're large), Netscape will get the entire thing.. then
reget it from the source for some reason. It takes a while to recontact
the news server and I can't see the point on having to do this over. Then
if you want to save anything.. it ends up having to (quite often) download
it right from the original source again. So what was a 500KB download from
a news server to begin with has turned into a 1.5MB ordeal. This bug has
been with Netscape for as long as I can remember (at least in the X Window
versions).
2) Due to more cruddy design issues, Netscape has this thing about having
everything (the navigator, mail and news, the composer (which is still the
worst rated WYSIWYG html editor around), and the address book) in one
binary. [Checks the exact size of his netscape binary] 13741448 bytes. Now
why on earth did they go and do this? It's hell on slower machines. If one
part freezes or crashes.. the whole thing does. Not very productive. I
admire MS for keeping IE, Outlook Express, Windows Adress Book, and
FrontPage seperate like all similiar clients should be. I think MS
Windows itself was poorly designed (that's what happens when you have a
system with no native support for anything, etc etc etc.. DOS is
old).. but they do have pretty good apps. Can't blame the apps for not
running.. it's the platform itself which sucks. Oh yeah.. I'm talking
about Netscape. They're software sucks.
That's my 2 cents :)
