Has anybody filled this out yet? What kind of things did you say?

I did. I want Opera to be native to the system, and mostly complained about gradients, icons, os native widgets (buttons, checkboxes, scrollbars), lack of polish, lack of attention to detail (hi 1px white border on icons), lack of thought in contrast and information hierarchy (i.e address bar drop-down could be better), and lack of upside down tabs (or general thought put into tabs (and other toolbars) being in different places, i.e. if someone decided to put them on the side).

If Hicks can bring Opera up to scratch with his usual level of excellent, then the only thing i have left to complain about running it on OSX is lack of the OS spell check integration (no, Aspell sucks), and no use of the keychain.

Decided to give the new Opera a try ... and I kind of like it to be honest. It's a nice simple interface, it's fast, it has pin tabs (which admittedly could be a bit bigger), integrates with the OSX keychain and has a 1password extension. Going to try it as a main browser for a couple of days and see what quirks I run into that I didn't know I had.

I have to say, i'm enjoying using Opera. The only really niggling thing is no h264 support, so vimeo doesn't work. It's kind of what chrome was when it first came out (useless comparison ahoy!)
