Very true. I don't know what Opera 6 users this guy was talking to, most people who have actually used Opera 7 have nothing but good things to say about it. Don't knock it until you try it. For those that are annoyed by the banner ad, the win32 version has no banner ad for 2 weeks, I'm expecting the Linux release to do the same.
There are new features like "Fast-forward" which I hope other browsers copy, because its something that browsers have needed for ages. Then there are features that Opera has had for ages, but most browsers have not bothered to copy: MDI (which is better than tabs), full zooming, save open pages on exit, etc.
There is really nothing to complain about with Opera 7. And it is much much much faster than any fully-functional browser out there. I honestly never thought that pages could load that quick, and always thought it was the web sites themselves that were slowing things down. For example, try Slashdot (logged in) with Phoenix or Mozilla and then with Opera 7. You'll be amazed to find out that Slashdot's servers are actually not that slow.
