My IE 5 is faster than my Opera 5 browser. Actually, I think it's what you're used to; I rarely use Opera, so I don't know my way around it so well, consequently I have difficulty with it. That's not because Opera is any worse than any other browser, but because I'm not used to it. I hate it when a popup not only pops up, but also resizes my main browser window. I actually like having all the different buttons on my taskbar, just so long as there aren't too many. It's just what I'm used to. I've even grown to like the click you get when a page starts downloading.

By analogy, I use Corel Draw Select Edition to create graphics. That package has a lot of bugs and misfeatures, but I have learnt to work around them and do it almost without thinking. Put me in front of the latest edition of, say, Photoshop, and I'm lost, although it is clearly superior. I will find many, or most, of its features mystifying or difficult to use, and will pine for my Corel Draw, bugs and all. But let me have it for, say, two weeks, and you will be unable to prise it out of my hands.
