Absolutely agree. I would love to stop cursing unnecessary javascript
usage because Net+ can't handle it.

As Michael said, we can't spare the resources. What really bothers me,
though, is that every time this topic ("BeOS needs a *real* browser!")
comes up, it seems like a new browser project is spawned. I don't want
to rain on anybody's parade, because a lot of cool ideas have been
bandied about and seem to actually be getting some development done, but
I dearly wish folks would set their pet projects aside and band together
to see one (just one is all we absolutely need) through to completion.
Given the *enormous* effort put into its development, Mozilla (in its
BeZilla guise) would seem to be the obvious and logical choice.
Whatever project you go with, getting 10 people working on a single
project is going to result in much more progress than 1 person each
working on 10 different projects. So come on, you BeOS browser coders,
get it together! I know people have made this rant before, and I
apologize for subjecting folks to it yet again, but something in me
needed to say it. =(
