Just my personal experience, but I've been quite pleased with the lack of
configurability in epiphany (and in the rest of gnome 2, for that matter).
It's definitely increased my productivity by preventing me from spending
hours tweaking options.
Also, epiphany's bookmarks implementation is excellent : you can associate
any number of "topics" with a bookmark. Typing a topic in the address bar
recalls all bookmarks associated with that topic. Again, though, just my
experience, YMMV.
Finally, many thanks to the folks who keep these packages going ; they work
beautifully and are really up to date. Recently I tried to walk a coworker
through installing PyGTK2 on a SuSE box, not pretty at all, even using
apt-rpm. :)
