Please, the man didn't issue a "threat". He stated a fact. And it's *very*
important, because without users, Camino (or any other app) may as well

that's causing potential users of their app to say "Forget it" and walk
away. Sooner is better than later on this.




I was using Chimera since the first stable, usable version. I'm disappointed in the current direction, starting with the developer's attitude towards handling .DMG files and other incorrectly typed files. Never mind that it's a server problem - there will always be misconfigured servers, and not all servers are Apache - the browser should still do the most reasonable thing. There doesn't seem to be any interest in making Camino as user-friendly and pleasant to use as possible - instead, the developers seem rigidly locked into their own ideas and not willing to bend to users' suggestions.


Giving the user a choice is always a good thing. It's possible to have lots of options without making it confusing or difficult to use. Or else just have the default behavior what a naive user would expect and allow advanced users to override it.
