The trouble is, two and a half years after the Mozilla project began,
not one distributor (with the possible exception of Neoplanet) has shown
themselves capable of producing a nice Mozilla-based Web browser with a
user interface appropriate for ordinary users.
To some extent I think this may be because mozilla.org doesn't consider
the code to be at `1.0' status yet. But I also think that if
mozilla.org's own developers -- those with the greatest knowledge of
XUL, JS, and CSS -- can't produce a decent Mozilla suite, no-one else
will be able to.
