So true. And interestingly, a number of those were not missed in 
reality, while some were added back by popular demand, and some were 
added back in a modified or completely redone form. And a ton were added 
that SeaMonkey never had (was hard work to get most of those added to 
SeaMonkey later as well).

I was not very fond of Firefox (or m/b, etc.) in the beginning, as you 
might remember, but I always though it was an interesting and worthwhile 
experiment, even then. And you guys managed to make something quite good 
out of it, which I turned to be fond of today as well. :)

Still, going in new directions always causes some shouting, some fear, 
uncertainty and doubt, and some rants. Sometimes it turns out to be the 
right way in hindsight, sometimes not, but we can never know beforehand.
