When I first discoverd Firefox I was ecstatic, and I still am. It is clearly a superior web browser to Internet Explorer, and pretty much anything else, except, perhaps, Safari. But Mozilla's other open source projects, while clearly filled with good intent and backed by the brilliance of a multitude of developers far more talented than I am, are so filled with bugs that I am slowly starting to run away from them. Thunderbird has been hanging. Both FF and Thunderbird sometims stall for 5-10 seconds. The Mozillla Calendar (sunbird) is completely uselss because it does not run within either application and therefor has to be launched separately which I never think to do. I hate to say it but Outlook is the way to go when it comes to organizational software and email clients.

Anyway, the main source of my ire today is N|Vu - an open source webpage editing client sorta like dreamweaver. Basically it dosn't work. It stalls out after a while and won't save changes or close documents. I have no idea why this is the case, but I do not have the patience to figure out why, nor should I. Software should not be released that has this many bugs. It's a pity that it's come to this, but that's that.
