is the behaviour not being mac like enough, beauty of the chrome is really "skin" deep.. mac user is expecting more, e.g. at least drag and drop should work and some descent mac like buttons should be used for the mac version. In the M12 nightly build, the scrollbar is even replaced by the mozilla scollbar, rather than the system scroll bar, this make a lot of mac user fairly unhappy. Especially when compared to the tight integration of IE5 on the Mac, a few users is going to switch..
And I have not yet talked about AQUA...
Don't get me wrong, I am still using NC and plan to use Mozilla when it's available, but the face of the project make us really nervous..
you are wrong... The infamous recognizer that you are talking about is the cursive recognizer and is made by a russian company. They (apple) introduced a printed recognizer when they introduce the NewtonOS 2.0. Even the recognizer is three years old now, I think it still beats graffiti hands down.
It forces Palm to adopt a better (sane) character recognition software. I remember the Newtons have a printed character recognize that is done inhouse by Apple. Time for an Apple/Palm partnership (or investment?!). Applepie
Why everyone missed this? AppleScript! This is the best CLI (albeit non-interactive) interface for the Mac, and I don't think you can find it on any platform elsewhere.. pie

Tell your friends to use "Finderpop", http://www.finderpop.com. Essentially when you hold the mouse button a bit longer, the contextual menu pops up!
One Button Rules!

The new MacOS X is BSD based..... Actually the OS team is using FreeBSD as a reference platform. Go figure.
