We complain because it's the only way to get the developers to see the mess they made.

You can sit back in your ignorance till crapera eventually disappears altogether because nobody liked it.

Opera, RIP 2013

Opera 12.16 is the latest release (from 10 month ago) if you aren't using Mac OS or Windows. So pretty much fair to say it is dead on linux.

I wanted to do a side-by-side comparison video how the new Opera lacks 90% of the features that made the old one usable in the first place for advanced users. But apparently, I can't even install it...

PLEASE PEOPLE ... let's be honest: Opera beyond version 12 is a cheap google chrome ripoff mixed with firefox UI design elements. The people, like myself, who are 'whining' here do so because we are high profile, 24/7 users, web designers, programmers, basement dwellers and high-tech people who actually get some real work done because we use truly superior tools and methods to begin with ... like the old style Opera. We waste 30 minutes on hardcore customization once every 3 years and then save like 10-20 minutes every consecutive day in return. UNDERSTANDABLY, now we are intensely butthurt, because we got the choice: migrate to something that causes a considerable loss in productivity (like firefox - not the 'new' Opera - haha what a joke) or watch productivity slowly dwindle as more and more rough edges and corners will show up until the tool finally dies from lack of maintenance (what I prefer to do). Both are naturally ugly.

We, the whiners, are not the big, inept, zero-to-one-hour PC user majority that Opera chose to rather target now. We actually suffer, 10 or 20 times more than you may. But it is just the modern age ...
