It can, but there's a difference. Netscape added items and altered others to
make NS6 more palatable to newbies and such. AOL integration, etc. The
statement that Mozilla is not for end users is somewhat of a misnomer, to
me. Developers are end users too. Anyone who uses a product is an end users.
The statement is meant to reflect the fact that Mozilla is never a FINISHED
product. It is always changing and growing. And there are rough edges as
well. It's more along the lines of unfinished furniture, or a pile of
components to a PC. Sure a comsumer-level user can use Mozilla, but they're
more likely to find a fine tuned distribution of Mozilla such as NS6, etc.,
more useable from their perspective.

Remember, there's a difference between complaining, and constructive
criticisms and discussion. This didn't look like a complaint, it looked like
a question meant to bring about discussion. =-]
