Why? Speed, standards complying, multi-platforms, best tabs handling, the faster DOM manipulation, etc.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing that stroke me when I both used IE and FireFox was their increase in speed. Web sites that were extensively modifying DOM document, on-the-fly, were much more faster (the speed difference between IE 6 and IE 7 with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.talkdigger.com\">Talk Digger<\/a> is awesome). <\/p>\n<p>Users have a much better experience using these browsers now. Not for their new goodies or their new user interface features. Users have a much better experience using these browsers because they are much faster, they are much smoother so they are much natural.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.feedblog.org\/2006\/10\/more_features_o.html\">Kevin Berton wrote about this dilemma sooner this week<\/a>: more features or better performance (so better features)?
