I didn't pull the modifications out of no where. When investigating SeaMonkey as a possible replacement for Firefox in our lightweight OS I read in many different forums, articles and such the most common complaints of the suite. None of which were so much that SeaMonkey wasn't a capable browser, most issues were about the relatively dated look, some common features in firefox that were missing in SeaMonkey and screenspace was probably the biggest gripe considering all the filemenu, toolbars and inclusion of the statusbar as well. This is what I based a majority of the modifications off of, because I wanted it to be successful in our Distribution. I didn't want people to start it up only to remove it in a couple minutes and install their regular browsers.
All of us here may install and tweak what we need to, however this is not as common for average or general everyday users. We think it is, but trust me, out of my 20+ years of professional desktop administration experience. It is not, and yes it is backed up by a degree in computer science so it is not just some yahoo statement. It is also our first implementation of SeaMonkey which I'm sure will become a bit more polished over the course of future LXLE releases.
