Joe Will Find any Reason Not to Like Opera
Personally, if I didn't like Opera as much as Joe Clark does, I just simply wouldn't use it and move on. Or at least learn how to customize to the way I wanted.
He is actually more upset with the "fanboys" now, and not so much as the software itself. He posted back in March about the Opera 8 beta. I posted a comment on Joel's site and I still feel the same way. Almost everything that Joe mentioned is just the normal software behavior that can simply be ignored (calling tabs windows for instance), or can be customized (keyboard shortcuts). I haven't used Opera on a Mac, but if it's anything like the Windows or Linux versions, which I am almost certain it is, you can easily customize all the shortcut by simply going into the preferences. The only reason I really write this is because Joe really came off as some arrogant know-it-all who simply couldn't be wrong about anything. And, before I am called some Opera "fanboy", I don't even use Opera anymore. I loved it, but have since switched to Firefox. And not because of the price either, I have a registered copy of Opera, I just love Firefox's extensions to much. Ah, whatever. I love some of the comments over at 456 Berea St.
