I guess it really is in the eye of the beholder. In my honest opinion, I have tried Opera many times and thought it was way too cluttered and unusable. After giving it a try for a few weeks, I ran back to Internet Explorer. The same thing happened with Mozilla. I gave it a try for a few weeks, and I ran back to Internet Explorer.
On the other hand, I started using Firefox when it was still called Firebird, during it's low .x times. Even though it was still beta, I immediately switched to it as my primary browser. It's simple beauty, speed, and fast load time was all the convincing I needed.
Now, whenever I reinstall my Windows machine, I do certain things immediately. 1) Turn off system restore. 2) Run Updates. 3) Install Firefox. 4) Install Thunderbird. 5) Install GAIM. (I'm hoping something better than GAIM comes out).
