[DUG] Delphi on Linux

[Rob van der Linde]

Yes, I have tried Flock, I liked every feature except for the bookmarks,
I normally have my bookmarks nicely grouped with submenus and Flock
flattened them all into one huge list when importing from Firefox. I
read later on the flock website that this is normal, Flock doesn't
support submenus under bookmarks, other than that it was great.

Opera, the browser tends to attract a certain niche of users I believe.
Some users love it, some users just don't. Personally, I don't like the
UI, I never have, it doesn't look native enough under Windows, and in
Linux it looks worse, the main menu is dark grey, it looks like an old X
application, it doesn't appear to be a GTK2 application. I tried
installing themes, but can't make it look nice in Ubuntu (the menu
maintains dark grey, everything else themes), it just looks butt ugly I
must say. Other than that, Opera is great, it's very fast, passes the
ACID2 test 100%, so CSS support is very good, has loads of nice
features. But the browser just isn't me, the UI puts me off too much,
especially in Linux.
