Dillo's great! It's much lighter on resources. You can use it with less worry if your running a lot of apps at the same time. I like Dillo and enjoy having it there in dsl, even if Firefox gets used more. It's fast and it's good for "quick look" surfing, and it's ideologically pleasing.
Apart from a copy and paste issue that soured me on it for a short time (which turned out to be some type of issue between dillo and scite.dsl BTW), it's fun to use.
As brilliant and indispensible as the Firefox star is, it's a greedy memory hog and something of a monster. So it's refreshing to remind ourselves that tiny and highly efficient programs like Dillo, - closer to the original unix philosophy - are still being developed.I kind of like the idea of making Firefox optional. that adds one more thing for people to choose, which is bad for new users. But it *is* a memory hog etc, and it uses a lot of space too doesn't it?
It makes sense to keep Dillo regardless, in case you need it. It makes less sense to jprovide Firefox regardless. Except that it's one more decision when there are so many already.I think we should junk Firefox, Dillo and netrik. They are ALL way too bloated.
All users should be forced to use "wget" to do their browsing.
Just kidding
You can always go to extremes... but in having a full-featured web browser is a must-have these days.
