I thought the user interface was basically cool, but I dropped
Opera after reading some of their documentation on
JavaScript and other 'unsafe' languages.  They seemed to be
saying that they supported scripting languages, but that you
really shouldn't be using one.

My impression was that they
wanted to avoid the effort to properly support JavaScript, 
so they made fun of the language.  Reminded me of the way 
MySQL makes fun database features (e.g. foreign keys) that
it doesn't support.
