@Acill
Sure it's a personal problem
Like with all other software/hardware preferences.
Some of my reasons for example are:
AWeb supports not one image format 100%.
Special problem is transparency.
(Something IB and V are even better than IE)
It's GUI is ugly and not intuitiv.
( Why use a gui system that is crashy and ugly ?
And worse not supported on MorphOS )
It's layout is slow when it comes to big sites,
quite often you get only an empty site even though
it has already loaded the page and just a few images
are left.
Sure it get's better every 3 month when a new release
arrives. But at it's current speed it needs 2 years
until it catches up with V and IB in their current state.
And then it's still outdated ...
When you have to rewrite the browser because not
one part is usable why not start from scratch ?
http://www.paihia.co.uk/ and Amizilla have done exactly this.
I think those two projects will produce a modern webbrowser
before AWeb is anywhere near an amiga-standards-supporting
browser ...
