Message: [QUOTE="Rando Christensen, post: 4438266"] Honestly, if you ask me, the biggest problem with firefox/thunderbird is speed. The interfaces for firefox and thunderbird are pretty sluggish, and scrolling under firefox has a really strange feel to it, like it's really really lagged. However, the original point was valid. Mozilla's XUL interface has come a long way, and while it still needs a ton of optimization and a few more behavioral tweaks on OSX, it really has worked out quite well otherwise as a cross-platform GUI toolkit. It has a native feel on linux and windows and a very close to native feel on OSX. Unfortunately, I don't think it's quite able to be used as a standalone gui toolkit (Though, it could very well be. After all, thunderbird does use it), but I really haven't done much reading on the subject. [/QUOTE]
