To me it's a matter of philosophy.   I dislike the MS all-in-one megalith
application philosophy, where it can sometimes be difficult to separate things
apart.     For instance, if I click on a link in Opera, I don't want to pull up
Opera's e-mail program that I haven't set up.   I want it to pull up maybe News
Rover's e-mail program.   I certainly don't want to pull up OE.    Sure Mozilla
can program this better - but I'd rather see them separate.
