And still:
      * it does not follow the HIG (which is, after theming and icons,
        the most important thing when it comes to look and feel);
      * there is no network-manager integration;
      * there is no avahi integration;
      * there is no support for notifications;
and I probably forget some.

There are definitely some nice improvements in iceweasel 3.0 when it
comes to GNOME integration (especially the proxy settings, the beginning
of GTK+ icon theme support and native widgets), but it still looks like
a second-class browser to me in this context.

Cheers,
