Netscape was great in the 0.99.2beta days.

By the time they hit Netscape Suite 6, it was a bloated piece of rubbish.
The first thing the Mozilla team did when they got the code was toss out
60%+ of the codebase.

Of course, Firefox has had its ups and downs in terms of bloat vs
quality/functionality.  Sometimes I think they forget where they come from,
and what their actual goals were.
