They won't ever get a good hunk of marketshare. They're not open source, they ***** and moan when something doesn't go their way, and at this point they don't offer anything important enough to get people to switch. I'm glad that they help innovate, but that was then and this is now. They need to stop complaining about IE having more marketshare and look at Firefox and Chrome taking more and more of the marketshare every day while IE loses and Opera doesn't move on the charts.

Meh, I used Opera for a while and I didn't care for most of the stuff on it anyway. I didn't want or need a Torrent client, Speed Dial was just meh, and I just didn't really see any real reason why I should switch from Firefox. One thing I really did like about Opera were the mouse gestures. Other than that, I'm glad Opera's contributed to the innovation of browsers..but at the same time, so what? They haven't really succeeded in winning me, or even a decent amount of users over. Their users, like the one who wrote that article just come off as whiny.
