Safari: why I don't use it

[Thinine]

baggage of forcing an independent rendering library that cause each operation to slow down.

baggage of forcing an UI that breaks window guideline and create Interface lag when operating on the UI, such as maximize.

The way safari is ported, causes both rendering and application speed to slow down and can not compete with opera at speed.

please listen to what windows users are saying before porting OSX users opinions. safari for windows is a total different beast than safari for OSX.

The only thing ported over that causes a slowdown is the window double buffering. And that's only to make up for Windows' crappy windowing system (on XP at least). Most everything else (graphics, text, networking) either uses the system libraries or a faster Apple library.

Its fine if u have to argue a library outside and on top of hosting OS would make better performance. Its also fine if you just feel anything apple is superior.

I just rather put more trust on real windows users' experience than apple's PR. And a slow UI, broken UI operation, slowness are all I experienced in real life. So there is really few shining claims apple can make to make ppl turn away from the real experience.

A word I said before, its hard to make a decent product when u hate your users.

For the post I original quoted, I just simply suggest him to try opera for himself, and make judgment afterward. No pressure, no argument needed.
