Very nicely said (from one SeaMonkey/Mozilla Suite lover to another).
No, it ain't perfect but I do like it much better. I started using its
predecessor (Netscape) back about 1995. Yes, I do have Firefox and
Thunderbird on my system for testing. No, neither of them measures up.
The only marginal way (for me) that they might excel is in the number
of extensions available for them. That will change as SM begins to
adopt more of the core code from FF and TB. The good thing is that the
SM team is doing that slowly, methodically and very carefully so as not
to break the application while embracing "progress." God bless them.
