I was very disappointed when I learned of this. While Opera never simply became my go-to browser, I did use it, and was glad for the alternative. With its adoption of Webkit, a lot of its point seems lost, as I never really bought into the other ways Opera was unique.

I knew about the change-o from other sources but got a chuckle when I spotted your title in my RSS feed.
Me, I’m a little sad to see “the fourth choice” do a disappearing act.
Back in the day, when there was no other browser supporting a CSS standard strictly to spec, the Norwegian one would, and that was good.
To everything a season, I suppose.

It’s unfortunate however how this decision was biased because of Apple’s walled garden policies; Webkit was the only way Opera could join the game.

I’ve been an avid Opera user for 12 years or so, I really don’t know whether I should be glad, bitter, or not care at all.

If we’re lucky and there aren’t too many proprietary ties (or rushed code) in Presto we may as well notice Opera giving back more than open source could ever hope for.

Let the feature war begin.

MS Word is still making people’s life miserably. A HTML5 equivalent of documents would be nice, although PDF kind of halted that need.
