So I just got to wondering if most of us Seamonkey people are just
Netscape hold ons that are not comfortable with the FireFox/Thunderbird
interface for whatever reason?
Well, our official two arguments are:
1) Good integration of browser and messaging functionality
2) More professional functionality that is reachable faster
Just one (random) example for both:
1) e.g. easy selection of opening a link in an email in a new tab or new
window in the browser via the context (right-click) menu.
2) e.g. the cookie manager being reachable from browser menus, and not a
few levels into preferences, like in Firefox (to name just one example).
Our target audience is the advanced user who often also likes good
integration of mail and browser as (s)he's using both extensively.
That's not to say that other groups, esp. ones that intersects with this
one, don't like SeaMonkey, we seem to have a good standing with
corporate users, for example, and with other users who like that they
only need to install a single application to have browser and messaging
functionality.
Of course, there are a number of things we still can and need to
improve, but with SeaMonkey 2.0, we significantly reduced the gap in
functionality to Firefox and Thunderbird, and also now have a good
platform to build even more improvements upon.
I hope many people continue to support us on that path and possibly even
help us with their contribution - be it in testing, support and
documentation for other users, or even in developing add-ons and the
application itself!
