I've started getting the automatic upgrade to SM 2.2 box; but when I naively started the upgrade I got a notice that there is no version of IE Tab that works with SM 2.2. So I aborted the upgrade since I find that IE Tab is one of the few extensions that I use a lot.
Just install "Add-on Compatibility Reporter" <https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/> which will enable to use your extensions which are not marked compatible with the current SeaMonkey version but otherwise work o.k. with it.
So I came here and started reading about all the problems that people are having with SM 2.2 and the scary prospect of going back to 2.0.14 if I wasn't happy.
It appears to me many people are lazy (and I had previously thought there's no lazier people than me, heh) - see my comment above.
And I've decided to stick with 2.0.14 for the time being. My question: are there ever going to be security updates for the 2.0.x version? Or will I have to go to 2.2 or 2.3 no matter what just to keep a reasonable security level?
There will likely be no more updates to SeaMonkey 2.0.*, based on Gecko 1.9.1.*/Firefox 3.5.* - the support for which has been officially dropped by Mozilla since sometime, already.
Or, worse, will I have to discard SM altogether and go to (ugh) Chrome (which I already must use for such demanding sites as HBO To Go since that site doesn't even work with IE Tab)? I've been a loyal Mozilla person since Netscape 1; but is this where I part company?
It's your choice - use whatever best suits you. As a side remark, I find IE Tab one of the most useless extensions there are.
