I just poked around with epiphany a few minutes ago before writing this,

for my own personal use, which firefox has, and that's ignoring the
plethora of existing firefox plugins I use currently. If I add the
firefox plugins I use, epiphany becomes much less attractive to me. Mind
you, in no way am I trying to "prove" anything to anyone else in saying
so, nor do I feel the need to. I'm perfectly happy just continuing to
use that which works best for me, and which meets my own needs, and
avoiding epiphany, which very much does not meet my needs, and I figure
the original poster above probably feels the same way. ;o)
Ultimately, which browser should be the default depends on the overall
goals of the distribution, and should take into account all sorts of
criteria. Said "criteria" is going to be coming from very different
groups of users with very very different goals and requirements. There
will never be one solution that is going to please everybody really.
While I *really* try to migrate from Firefox to Epiphany with each
GNOME/Fedora release and fail each time, going back to FF for whatever
missing feature, I think this is a discuss worth having: for other cases
(like BitTorrent, where the default was changed to Transmission, which I
absolutely love) we have by default the simpler, "less featured", but
better integrated and easier to use application, leaving for the expert
user, who need the extra-features, to change the default.
