&#62; Firefox runs on Linux, it is just as good as Safari<p>This is the problem with Linux right here... (and I say this as someone who's used Linux as a primary desktop for years and eventually went to a Mac)<p>When you start saying things like X is just as good as Y, it isn't.<p>People that choose to use Safari have a very specific reason for doing so.  Usually it's because it's well integrated into Mac system.  Not in an IE integrated way, but a "it fits with everything else" kind of way.  If you choose between Firefox and Safari on a Mac, the biggest difference is speed.  Safari <i>feels</i> faster (I don't know if it is or not).<p>Similarly Chrome on Mac <i>feels</i> faster than Safari.  Maybe it's just because it's a little more minimalist right now.<p>On Linux, no one has the authority or cares enough to say "this is the way we are going to do things...".  So you end up with a ton of half assed solutions to every problem.  Sometimes those are good (Firefox as an example).  Sometimes they are adequate (OpenOffice).  Sometimes, no matter how hard they keep trying, they can't keep up with the competition (Gimp).<p>So, yes... Firefox runs on Linux.  But no, it's not as good as Safari.<p>Yes, I know there are people that choose to use Firefox on a Mac (my wife as an example).  I still maintain that Safari provides a better "experience".
