It's a given my wife and I will go back to the Opera de Paris soon. However, the title of this post is not about operas and ballets : it's about Opera 9.0, the wonderful web browser which I have been using for the last 2 months or so. A wonderful software, featuring amazing functions, with a cute design. Nevertheless, Opera is not in the Top-3 list of the most popular browsers today, so there are too many limitations using it with most of the web sites at the moment. For instance, no WYSIWYG when typing a post on TypePad, inactive buttons on lots of web pages, etc. That is why I switched to Firefox 2, which is much more supported by almost all web sites now. The lesson of the day : when a niche product you like do not fulfill all your requirements for a seamless/smooth/painless use, give it up. Go for a more mainstreamed one, even if it lacks some of your preferred features or if you don' t like its design : you will increase your productivity anyway ! In the meantime, send your feedback to the vendor/creator of the former and wait for its next major release.
ps : I decided to ban the word ' but ' from all my writings, including this blog. I tell you : it's quite fun ;-)
