[SNIP] I've been wondering what will happen to SeaMonkey when Fx
dies next year. When XUL extensions and all complete themes for
Fx are killed that kills Fx and it will be only an imitation of
Chrome browser then. Since so much of SeaMonkey now is Fx code and
many SeaMonkey users use Lemon Juice's converter in order to use
some Fx extensions on SeaMonkey what will happen to SeaMonkey when
Fx commits suicide?
Perhaps it's time to do a "market survey" to see why a possible
"Silent Majority" have chosen SeaMonkey over a multitude of options.
And no, I haven't the foggiest of how to do/interpret such a survey
;/
For myself, I started with Netscape and followed a path that gave me
the same user experience. I've never felt a desire for addins/addons.
I generally surf with cookies and JavaScript disabled unless they are
*ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED*. I occasionally use Composer because it serves
my need/desires and is conveniently available. I've never had the
need to investigate using IRC chat. I can't recall having come across
a bug that affected how I did things.
I started with Netscape too, but have strayed many times, and today use a
couple of other browsers for specific purposes.
Seamonkey's appeal to me is less that it's familiar (although I like that), but
that it's SO ADAPTABLE. I use dozens of extensions and I can't even begin to
think of how many profile tweaks I've made through the years.
There is plenty in Seamonkey I never use (IRC, Composer) but there is so much
that's valuable to me that I can't even contemplate being forced to rely on any
of the other browsers or email clients that I've tried.
