You are all right. Opera is following a more commercial path, and the rest of us, which know better than most of the cows out there, know this is not our path too. That explains the "gainage" of user base. If we were those usual cows, we would never use opera but firefox, IE, and the ultimate google spyware crap. That being said, explains it all, use old opera until it is unusable, and hope for a better world.
