You've obviously never tried to develop an extensive browser-based
user interface using both. Netscape is bigger, and slower, but it also
crashes less and provides a much better JavaScript implementation. I
ran across two seemingly valid JavaScript combinations that both ran on
NS4, and crashed the browser in IE4 on NT4. Once even brought down NT.
In general, if you push them very hard at all, ALL BROWSERS SUCK. They
just do it in different directions. ;^)
