It looks interesting, but it's not free software, so I have no interest myself. Firefox/Iceweasel has been serving me well since before it was Firefox, and Pentadactyl has been my primary UI to it for a long time. I don't feel like Mozilla is taking it in a good direction anymore, but if it ever gets too bad, there's Iceweasel, and there's Pale Moon (which has committed to "classic" Firefox extension APIs and UI), and there are other alternatives like Conkeror, uzbl, etc. Even if you don't care about free software, Vivaldi is made by former Opera devs, so how do we know they aren't just repeating a cycle? It could go the same direction Opera went and need to be rebooted again. As long as it's proprietary, that's a risk its users will always face. My two cents. :)
