Because if Firefox sucks, then Seamonkey blows.

try a test:-

install clean ff and tb
install clean sm

open ff, load 2-3 large sites
open tb, load a few large emails

measure memory useage

open sm, load 2-3 large sites (exactly the same ones)
and load a few large emails (exactly the same ones)

measure memory usage...

typically was 20-30% less the ff+tb last time I tried.

What made me change in the end was the level of plugin support

What about if you don't use thunderbird (like most of us).
