Didn't we just have this same thread over Galeon? If I'm not running
KDE, I'm not going to start up one application - particularly Konqueror,
which *I* find takes longer to start (because of all of the KDE specific
libraries that must be loaded) than Mozilla.
But people have different tastes of applications - some prefer the
design considerations of Mozilla, others of Galeon, still some of
Konqueror. There are those that turn to Lynx as a rule, unless they need
the graphics. Others turn to Chimera. There are those that run Netscape,
for consistency across platforms and the concept of an established name.
There are those that turn to Opera, and even a few that like the
convenience of Internet Explorer when they are banished to Windows.
People have their tastes of what they would like to use - if they find
they work better, or at least more comfortably, with their choice, why
should they be faulted for that?
