It's not even a good WYSIWYG editor. Amaya truly sucks at everything
it tries to accomplish, unfortunately. Too many features, too few
developers, I think.
Dude --- DROP Moz 0.7 for crying out loud - we're at 9.7 now! (but
don't get that - I've had issues. Get either 9.6 or a recent CVS
build). I haven't had 'zilla zombies in over a year. There isn't any
such thing as a *perfectly* stable web browser (I'm sure even Opera
crashes) - but Mozilla is very stable at this point, and is also
packed with more features (and standards support) than any other
browser (including Opera).
