I've only converted to it over the last few days, so there is much to 
discover yet. Some things I've seen:

- Much prettier UI. Finally breaks away from the mud-fence-ugly Netscape 
UI. It will be easier to recommend to clients over that Microsoft stuff.
- Lots of little enhancements to the UI that, to me, add up to alot.
- UI is alot more customizable.
- Overall, it seems faster and leaner (even in beta stage) than Moz.
- Appears this is where the resources will go for browser development in 
the future, so may as well get on board now.

Editorial comment: DEP has been known to criticize (rightly so) lots of 
desktop OSS apps that never quite seem to measure up to their commercial 
counterparts. If Moz Firebird/Thunderbird can be taken as a measure of 
what "the community" is producing, then we are entering an entirely new 
era of OSS.
