Well I had Netscape hang twice over the weekend. When I surf I like to
find a page to read then leave it for later while carrying on in a new
window. Then I can read them at my leisure after disconnecting from my
ISP.
When the currently downloading window hangs it prevents all the others
from repainting so I can't read the pages I have kept and must reload
them all after killing Netscape. At South African Telkom rates this is
more than just irritating.

I got tired of Netscape's mail because it looks lousy (even with
TrueType fonts), refuses to remember things like frame widths, etc just
the way I like them and the fact that it is tied so tightly to the
browser. The browser seems to be the unstable part and it is really
painful when it takes the mailer down with it. Comparing Netscape to
Internet Explorer/Outlook Express, I think that MS took the better route
by keeping them as separate executables.
