Yes, well... I sort of like software working the way *I* want it to  
rather than me having to retrain myself. I really don't see any  
*advantage* in the OmniWeb tabs. People have mentioned things like  
being able to rearrange them by dragging, etc. You can do that in  
FireFox as well. To me it is just an annoyance - instead of seeing my  
tabs right in front of me I have this "thing" hanging off the browser  
window that I have to look at separately and go to separately to deal  
with tabs.

To me it seems awkward, and space-wasting, and sort of grody. I tried  
all day yesterday to use it and just found it ... cumbersome.

I guess it's a matter of personal taste combined with what you are  
used to. I believe all the people here are sincere in that they  
prefer it (though I can't wrap my mind around *why*). :)

There really is just one OmniWeb fantastic feature I've seen so far  
that made me feel like licensing - the ability to open up tiny forms  
in a larger editing window. That is definitely super cool. And I  
almost licensed it just for that.

But I don't want to use tabs hanging off on the side! Sorry!

I appreciate everybody's feedback though! Thanks!
