It is with great disappointment that I see the demise of Growl support in SeaMonkey 2.19. In looking for the reasoning behind this, the answer was apparently that "Notification Centre is the way forward". This would be grand except for the fact that OS X Snow Leopard and Lion both do not *have* Notification Centre.

The current fallback to XUL notifications is marginally useful, but only when I'm working on the same virtual desktop on which SeaMonkey resides. When I'm working on a different desktop and mail comes in, the XUL notification is not visible and I'm left to go look through half-a-dozen inboxes to try and decipher which account got the new mail.

So, uh, who exactly thought this was moving forward? For those of us who are not using Mountain Lion or Mavericks, this presents a fairly massive step backwards in functionality. My early-2008 MacBook4,1 only goes as far as Lion due to its 32-bit EFI. Unless I roll back to SeaMonkey 2.17.1 and freeze my updates there -- not the most intelligent plan from a security perspective -- I'm stuck with a SeaMonkey that now feels more alien to the OS than it has in years.

Not happy.
