Well, Tony, at least you can be absolutely sure of one thing around here...
You'll never have to guess at where you stand with people. I like that, frankly. I'd rather have someone tell me they think I'm an idiot to my face than run around behind me making annoying whispering noises. It's not like I don't already KNOW they think I'm an idiot... it's just the honesty that's refreshing. ;) As for the hidden costs of FireFox DHTML development, I tend to agree with Spike. Frankly, FireFox and Opera have some pretty awesome testing/debugging tools. If we could get them to merge some of the Opera tools into FF, we'd have the best browser in the universe.
