And they're not only driven by their own wants, needs, and desires, but some
of them are also driven by what is going to be good for the people that will
use Mozilla and make it a success.
In short, this statement is NOT true. Think about it for a minute. Now
Embedded builds are happening, efforts to make it easier to use on slow and
low-mem machines, multiple older platforms where there are users that refuse
to go to a platform they feel is inferior (OS/2, etc), etc. And the
corporations involved, Netscape, IBM, Red Hat, are guiding their development
ends for their own users as well.
And even if it is true, then I'm throwing myself into the area of visual
design developers, and saying that the current crop of Mozilla icons (and
splash screens, mascots, and their ilk) are insufficient, and are an itch I
want to scratch.
