Ben Goodger has some complaints about the Mozilla preferences. I’m sort of ambivalent about it. Yes, from a normal user (and in some cases, any) perspective, a lot of things shouldn’t be there, but ostensibly the Mozilla browser was supposed to be a tech demo, not a final end-product. I’d venture to say that the ‘failure’ of Mozilla in this regard is not an overcrowded UI, but rather it’s difficulty in customization for creating end products. (It was interesting, for example, hearing about Active State’s experiences w/ Komodo at last year’s OSCON) The conclusion is the same either way, I suppose. Move the stuff into plugins / easy to remove modules.
