I made my own objective evaluation yesterday and dumped 7.01 after screwing around with it for the better part of three hours. I downloaded Mozilla 1.2.1 (according to its Release Notes, the recommended version for 8.6 - 9x) and had identical problems: clicking onto a bookmarked site usually produced a blank page; very slow to open; delay between the click onto Bookmarks and its opening). Whereas 7.01 has a lot of potential, it's just not worth my time trying to make it work.
I had the same problems, no major difference between Netscrape and Mazillo.
I also downloaded the latest Beta version of iCab and am playing with that until it runs out tomorrow (31 Dec) at midnight when it turns into a pumpkin.
It won't really go away until there's a new one to replace it, IIRC. I'm thinking iCab has most features I want.
And, I still have Opera to mess with. And IE 5x for those sites which won't work for Netscape. I'll continue to use Netscape 4.8 as my main browser until something comes along which works better. Also, I use Composer as a WYSIWYG, so Netscape will probably always be with me.
I gave up on Opera, basically nothing remarkable there - unless they recently managed to add some decent features like pop-up/over/under killers.
