I'd have to agree that Netscape 6 sucks; however, the latest Mozilla builds
are free of the AOL marketing tripe that got packed into Netscape and they
continue to apply fixes, etc.. in that code branch. Personally, I hope the
Mozilla effort is ultimately successful as competition is a good thing.
Can't wait for IE 6 though...should be mean!

Bit off topic, but the Netscape 6 CSS and DOM support is far superior to IE
5.5 support (I've just written a chapter on the DOM and the latest two
browsers) and in line with the DOM level 1 and 2 standards. If just the rest
of the browser was as good...
The XSLT component should be ready shortly as well, it's a good foundation I
assume, for Mozilla to continually patch, and hopefully it'll push Microsoft
to new heights with IE6. Like you say competition is essential to help
products continually improve.

My main complaint about NS6 isn't standards support, which is much better
than IE thanks to Gecko, but the way-over-board integration of AOL-Netcenter
tie-in cruft. A better comparison would be NS6 vs. MSN Explorer. Mozilla,
on the other hand, isn't littered with this garbage and with each Milestone
standards support gets even better. The stability of the product is even
better in the current nightly builds than NS6 in my opinion...NS6 installs
have been flaky in my experience with NS6 release refusing to launch once
installed on my main system at home. I don't think it will wreck your
computer as it doesn't play with your registry much or load many system
files (if you don't enable desktop integration) but it's still got a long
way to go.
