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.
I've said this before, but it's something that has to be solved within mozilla proper, and those developers are not eager to fix it. As long as camino lives on the trunk, we will have to play by their rules. We do not own the entire tree. Let me say that again. We do not own the entire tree.
Sure, if we branched we could fix it ourselves, but eventually we have to go back to the trunk, and that means landing it back into mozilla proper (we're not living on a branch forever, living on the 1.0 branch for so long almost killed us, we're still finding leftover patches we missed when going back to the trunk).
I would agree with you, but I do not rule the world. Compromises sometimes have to be made.
