Although I'd like to get excited about any new developments involving Camino, I just can't. Being a cocoa app makes it superior to FireFox in some ways but the variety of cool extensions for FireFox makes it the better choice. If I was going to try to live without them I'd need a bit more in return than Camino can give at this point.

The new site looks really nice and Mac-like. I just downloaded the latest nightly build, and am posting this using it right now. It's really a slick browser, and I may consider switching to it (from Safari). Keep up the good work!

why the heck don't they stop pulling in two directions and put the effort into making Firefox the best browser on any platform ? Or am I missing something !

You're not missing something. Except, for some reason, the whole open-source community believes that 623 passable programs of something is better than one or two kick-a** ones.
Camino's developer's problems is they missed the whole point of a cross-platform browser. Standards and interoperability. You can get extensions for Firefox that work on any platform. And then there's the fact there's one code-base. With camino, you've got a tag-along program that misses the whole grand extension idea for the sake of some stupid "Its got to be Cocoa/native or it sucks!" concept. Great. But I'll take a browser that I can use AdBlock with (best ad blocker out there, because it lets YOU easily choose which ads from which companies you want to see - yes, there are sites whose ads I want to see, so I can support sponsors of sites I like, assuming their unobtrusive and non-annoying, so MacNN is out).
Oh, one more thing. On this:
The new site looks really nice and Mac-like.
How can a web-site be mac-like? Aren't they all just web-sites?
