Gnome "In the GNOME philosophy, we want applications that do their job, only their job, and we want those to do it perfectly. Epiphany's job is to browse the web. Only browsing the web. But browsing the web in a GNOME fashioned way." Read more here and also here.

It's horrendously slow, eats RAM like popcorn, and lacking in even the most basic functionality. It also ships with an absolutely inane layout that is a PITA to fix.

I'm sorry you were disappointed in Epiphany. However I wonder what you're comparing it with? Epiphany is demonstrably up to par with Firefox speed-wise (sometimes even faster) and memory-wise, and editing the toolbar to your liking is a breeze with drag-n-drop. You may not like the default layout for the toolbar, but be assured that it has been chosen after careful consideration and analysis of use cases.

Nevertheless, suggestions for improvement are always welcome. ( http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/Suggestions )
