Michael, your points are all true and essentially unassailable. As an
Openbox user I confess myself out of touch with usability issues in
GNOME, and as a lazy user I confess myself out of touch with upstream.
Perhaps I will play with newer versions of Epiphany later to see how it
goes.
But I guess for all my blabbering it boils down exactly to what you
mentioned: Epiphany isn't quite ready. If upstream is as good as I've
been hearing, I actually do think there's some hope. I only worry that
some along-for-the-ride users will grumble at Firefox being shunted out,
ideology or no. Mozilla has had a long time to polish Firefox and give
it (less platform-independent usability) that GNOME Web hasn't quite
gotten to.
All the same, Stephen's link looks very promising, recalling the
complaint about upstream not working enough with the Fedora team. I hope
we can get some dialogue going. This is healthy discussion.
I add an apology: I think my not using GNOME might be glossed over, but
I was very remiss not to investigate upstream Epiphany builds. Sorry. I
live under a rock.
