Nah. IMO I don't think it's a failure... I just think that the mozilla
team should've built a web browser and not a web browser, mail and
news reader, irc client and god knows what else. They should've built
a solid core and put in hooks for the rest so that they can be added in
as modules.
This would've let them bring out a web browser faster and I could dump
that hunk of shite called netscape sooner.
It'd also prolly have a far smaller footprint then it does now.
Ahh well...
