I’ve downloaded Epiphany, ironically not for better resource management but for closer GNOME integration.
I feel especially sinful right now. The Mozilla Application Suite (SeaMonkey, now) was my entrance into the open-source world and, indeed, the whole of geekdom. I’ve since abandoned Thunderbird for Evolution, and it looks as if Firefox’s time is nigh. Even Gecko will get the boot as Epiphany switches to WebKit/GTK+. (I kid you not.)
I lurk MozillaZine and Bugzilla. I’ve been through two name changes and unsavory trademark snafus; I remember Qute. I have an actual, printed book about the Mozilla framework, although I never used it. I know that the Suite had grippies once, and I’m glad to see them gone. I’ve seen an unpolished hobbyist browser turn into a massive, mainstream following fueled by incorporation and marketing.
I feel like I’m turning my back. I know it’s irrational.
(To those of you who rightfully insist there should be a graphical system monitor in GNOME: There is. I just need something text-only to paste here.)
