I used Seamonkey without installation in Ubuntu 10.10.
It has seen a huge performance gain as far as the web page rendering is concerned; brilliant work. I think it is the Gecko engine which is at work.
The email composition and the address book are insanely feature rich; a huge welcome improvement. It offers to import everything from existing Thunderbird installation- a welcome step indeed.
However, it doesn't offer a "coherent" experience as that of Opera. Mail/Address book needs to be integrated as a separate tab process instead of a window as it is currently being done. I really don't know the rationale behind the different windows but it is then something similar to Firefox+Thunderbird.
I foresee Seamonkey as a comprehensive project; an integrated browser (like Opera) which would then really kick some dust.
At present, I am on Shredder and Firefox 4 and more than happy; but really need just one app to replace them all. (Including Opera for good as a closed source programme).
