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?
Anyone out there a Seamonkey user who was not a Netscape users?
As for me I started on Netscape 1.x though 4.6x then skipped to Netscape
7.x (6.x never worked well for me), on to Mozilla Suite and then
Seamonkey. Firefox/Thunderbird never felt comfortable to me since I
knew Netscape better and so I stay here with Seamonkey.
I'm asking all this because I'm currently questing why I am staying on
Seamonkey. I like a few things about it over Firefox/Thunderbird but
with 2.0 out and many extensions broken or no longer supporting
Seamonkey - all of which still work in Firefox I'm questing why I'm so
resistant to go over th Firefox. Seamonkey just isn't getting the
support it did when it was still Mozilla Suite unfortunately (a fact I
don't want to accept).
I'm also still, on some computers, still a Eudora user even though that
program, with all that is great about it, is getting almost to the point
of unusable with poor current standards support. So perhaps I'm just an
anachronism wishing still for the days of 110baud teletype BBSs again ;)
Anyone want to wax philosophical about this?

In two words...Integration and Options!!
I originally purchased Netscape Navigator Gold as a development tool
because it had the browser, HTML editor and mail all in one package. It
also included a multitude of other applications.
I stayed with Netscape 4.79 until the Mozilla Foundation brought out the
Mozilla Suite because I did not like the newer versions of Netscape.
I have always liked the installation options allowing me to install only
the suite applications that I wanted keeping space requirements down and
reducing the number of options in program menus.
Because I download vast amounts of data, I really need all of the
seemingly incidental options like being prompted to save a file to a
default directory or a directory of my liking with a file name that I
want as in SM 1.1.18.
I love the ability to capture a web page I have uploaded to my web site
and perform corrective / enhancement edits to it all in one environment.
With over 60 online accounts that require user name and password entry,
the password manager in SM 1.1.18 is absolutely indispensable.
Because SM is used in a business environment here, stability is a must,
and we have had that with Netscape, Mozilla Suite and SM up to 1.1.18.
I am hopeful that once things settle down from the major changes that SM
2.0 required internally, and the volunteer staff catch their breath, we
will see the return of some of our most liked options.
