Why ?

Because our team would be unable to maintain the whole Mozilla code for the Gecko 1.8.1 branch, and in terms of website support as well as features like crash recovery and others, SeaMonkey 1.1.x started to badly suck compared to other products out there. We would have lost users rapidly (actually we have been losing quite a few already) and would have gained zero new ones. Unmaintainable code and decreasing user number mean death of the project, while what we want is an ability to gain new users and not only maintain the code but even improve it and develop new capabilites.

You will say the same after switching to SM 2.1 ?

The switch to 2.1 will be much less painful than the one from the half-dead 1.x to the well-alive 2.0.x branch.
