I've had a few crashes of PubSub agent...not sure if that's related, but they only started when I started using the 4 beta. I'm not using Safari as my RSS reader (NetNewsReader REALLY grew on me fast), I should dump my RSS bookmarks; which will probably fix things. 'Click to Flash' is working wonderfully for me, so I'm not being exposed to any flash related problems, no Javascript issues I've seen so far, and it hasn't crashed a single time. I've approached the 'tabs on the top of the window' issue like I did the loss of Windowshade or the loss of the Apple Menu and appearance of the Dock in OS X...resisted the urge to go back. I'm getting used to them and in a month, I'll think no differently than I did when tabs themselves were new. The thing that's causing me issues isn't the placement, but the X- windows-like activation of the tabs when I mouse over them. The sudden appearance of the delete icon tends to draw the fingers to that spot to click on it to pull that tab to the front. It's a 'Hey. pay attention to ME' kind of thing. I have a sneaking suspicion that Apple's using Safari to 'test drive' some UI stuff for 10.6. One thing I've DEFINITELY gotten used to is the major appearance of 'teh snappy'.
