I had never really cared to switch to FF, never could really get used to it. Namely, I had regular issues with it on different setups. Didn't know that at that time but the app had a baad tendency to leak until version 1.5. It was, somehow, easy to break, too much of a toy rather than a program to my taste. With version 1.5, I had a lot less issues of that kind, it became usable, and appeared to be nice. I also tend to hate overly complex apps. I know what tabbed browsing is about, but I've always browsed in a similar way, by hitting ctrl+n when forking, and keeping tabs to my taskbar. Hell, I still can't use an IDE for scripting, it just won't do, I just don't need 99% of the features. Line numbers, and NO automated indenting, that's all I need, really. I use Eclipse for complex projects and love it, though. For cpp, dev cpp, which I find to be an IDE catastrophy, but at least, it automates the makefiles creation and makes code geared towards gcc and different platforms, unlike Visual C[i]shite[/i] and similar junk. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...Nowadays, with things like Open Office, Firefox, Eclipse, KDE... Not to mention Java vs C#. C# is Java for dummies. It is not portable (don't even dare to say Mono - why would I do C# on Linux when Java is so cool and powerful?). And it is not as fast as cpp/native apps. It trades the goods of both ancestors for... nothing. all these open source and free to use, all software that beats the competiton easilly (Opera's alright too ;)), I am starting to look forward to the "downfall of MS". Theyre doped and market friendly cheeseware just seems to be falling apart to me... Sounds a bit biased uh? Well, I work with Windows networks and software all day long, so I know the topic quite well. I know what I'd be leaving. And today, FF is my default browser. It's the first time I really make the switch. I still am on Windows, use 90% free software, except MS things I am constrained to use (the Visual Studio I despise: hundred megs of numbness and coding malpractices), and I HATE IE 7. It's a deep feeling of "they've gone too far in terms of pathetic copy of their rivals, and a FALSE sense of security." That shitty browser has, within a couple of days, made me lose my temper several times by blocking things I want and cannot keep using, it's intrusive, ugly, non-intuitive, a copy of others, it's bad. It's by far the mose dense pile of shit MS ever tried to feed me. Almost qualifies as the worst software I've ever used (Viriis are the next step). Ok, I am getting emotional, so I leave it up to you, what are your feelings about IE7? Loading...
