Opensource/Mozilla/Firefox/whatever has always, always, always guaranteed a mediocre Mac user experience as with all of Brads examples and similar.
Yes, they tack on oodles of "features" and gee-whiz techtoys but the execution always screams design-by-committee and lacks polish.
I always download them, always test and play with them, never actually "use" them for long. They are mere curiosities I keep in my toolbox for occasional checking.
Sad, because there isn't a good reason for them to suck except for lack of a central (asshole/control freak/Jobs) authority perhaps.
