Crashes
I haven't tried Netscape in X yet, but it has crashed and lock up my mac in less than an hour in 9.2.1. I really like the idea that you can have all that information in one location (plus you can turn it off at will) and if I could change the Instant messager to ICQ I would make the change regardless of the crashes.
