I'm being a little spiteful here... I just spent three days trying to get my JavaScript dump extension to work in Opera AT ALL and failed. Works great in IE and FireFox and I've had a report that it likes Safari... but Opera's just being stubborn. So damn Opera! Damn it all to hell! ;^) Still, you're right - lacking my recent experiences Opera's pretty good in general. But it's still an odd egg in many, many respects. You have to be extra careful when doing feature detection since it supports some of IE's features but not others. Also it's not JS 1.5 compatible (it still claims 1.4... which is just weird since 1.4 wasn't actually a "release"... the language really went from 1.3 to 1.5).
