FWIW, while it is now true that e.g. Firefox can get close to OmniWeb in terms of features (and has some that OmniWeb doesn't), when OmniWeb 5.0 was originally released a few years ago, only Opera and (to an extent) iCab came remotely close to having the same feature set as OmniWeb. E.g. drag and droppable/copy and paste-able tabs were completely unique to OmniWeb 5.0 when it first came out. It is only within the past year/year-and-a-half that Firefox and Safari have gained this ability. Also, it is only within the past year that the Firefox extensions to approximate e.g. graphical tabs and workspaces have become robust enough to use daily (even then, they are still quite flaky and, with respect to Workspaces, much less user friendly).

When OmniGroup start work on OmniWeb 6.0, hopefully they have some good ideas on how to take that big leap forward again. A few of the current features require refinement, but let's hope they have some ideas for unique features to add again.
