Comments on: Mozilla freezes Seamonkey

Group will no longer develop features for the software suite as it focuses on support for Firefox.

A monkey lost at sea ...

I'm a regular Mozilla 1.7 user and will miss it.

I like the idea of having all functions in a single package, things like being able to modify web pages by typing [ctrl][e] in the browser and uploading them by merely clicking on "Publish". To me, nothing beats the speed and ease. NVU is getting better, but not nearly as intuitive. Firefox also still lack some important features found in the suite, such as the very complete print preview/adjust.

Also, using a separate copy of the rendering engine and other underlying libraries for Firefox, Thunderbird, NVU and Sunbird isn't going to help with software bloat, both on disk and, more importantly with a huge memory footprint.
A common complaint with Firefox is that it's slow to start, in my experience, slower than starting the complete Mozilla Suite. Starting all the individual components one after the other is not user friendly to say the least.

I'm disappointed with this decision, as I expected Firefox, Thunderbird, NVU and Sunbird to become more tightly integrated around a common core in the future.

I hope it's not to late for them to think again.
