just a couple of pennies out of my pocket:

Actually, Opera's implementation of ECMAScript is as good (or better) than anyone's. It is DOM2 (object model) support that's lacking. It's pretty much confirmed now that Opera is working on a brand new rendering engine - supposedly very fast and DOM2 compliant.

Opera's dedication to standards is what attracted me to it in the first place. True, there are some things I don't like about it - but if all browser vendors were as serious about standards-compliance, our jobs as developers would be much easier!

Concerning Opera's market share. I tend to look for niche markets anyway - I can make a decent living off of a small percentage of 10 million!
