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).
