My honest answer ? I don't remember the last time I learned of a new
Seamonkey feature and thought "Oh, wow -- how ever have I managed
without one of those ?. Rather, my usual reaction is "Great --
now how do I turn that off so that Seamonkey does what it has always
done, rather than something new that I don't want it to do and for
which I can see no reason ?". This refers, of course, to the domains
of functionality and appearance; security fixes (that don't break
things) are usually welcome, except when they make Seamonkey appear
even more paranoid than usual ...

I think the last thing I got out of SM that actually made me happy as a
user was tabbed browsing - now that I can, I use it constantly.
But other than that I've essentially been watching it do nothing for
*me* the *user* than bloat with supposed "fixes" that are totally user
transparent...not counting the new SM Default Theme, which I find
totally and completely hideous. I tried it just now...just to
cross-check the short drop-down bug in the SM Modern Theme and I found
it to be even more objectionable than I'd remembered...
...and watching baseline features like the Profile Manager now having to
be tuned off in order to "fix" problems that didn't exist previously.
IMO, SM 1.1.19 was the last of the best from a user standpoint, and even
it had some problems that have been carried into the 2.x.x series. But
at least there were *fewer* of them to deal with.
