You back it? Is it a call to arms or something? "Mozilla sucks because corporate backers want to see it succeed?" What exactly do you back in it? The tenious pejorative speculation webbed together in way that appears to create the illusion of a fact? I'm sorry, I except more from my news sources. I happen to know for a fact how far off base he is since I work on the Mozilla project every single day. Trying to blame the amount of time that it has taken as the fault of some corporate entity is near-sighted and shows how little he actually knows about the subject matter. Writing a fast, full featured, cross platform browser is hard work and it takes time. That's it. > > As I wrote in comments to this article, > "It's not very common to find constructive critics of Mozilla project. > Therefor I was very much surprised to find very interesting article by Robin > 'Roblimo' Miller, analyzing in histrorycal aspect problems of Netscape and > Mozilla." What is possibly constructive about that article? "Use Netscape 4.7 because it sucks less?"
