Sterling on Ubiquitous Computing and the canard of stalled innovation - Quick Topic

Mozilla was designed for use by people who live on the net. It was written by people who live on the net.

Then why does it have a built-in mail client, a built-in HTML editor and a built-in IRC client? Surely people who use the net daily have these apps already and probably have favourite apps they much prefer. Doesn't this sort of bloatware seem more akin to market-share and business plan zombies than web-geeks?

It is the one thing that has always pissed me off about Mozilla and why I am very happy to see Chimera (and its Linux kin) build just a browser with the Mozilla engine.
