What i don't understand is that why does everyone act like it's Presto or Opera ASA's fault for the incompatibility. From what i gather Presto was the closest to following standards and everyone else was busy developing for Webkit and Gecko and stop following standards and thus couldn't work well with Presto. In my honest opinion Opera ASA should have just kept Presto and work on patches for all those dumb ass developers who don't understand how to follow standards. People are saying Opera switched to WebKit for compatibility and so that they don't need to spend a whole lot of time developing an engine, which I don't understand. Most browser makers now are trying to be like Chrome and adopt a rapid development Cycle which I don't understand because it's not like their user base were complaining that they didn't get an update this week, last week, or the week before in honestly I think they were all just envious and wanted to be like Chrome and say they were constantly working on their browser which is stupid because you can't scale to a company like Google which probably has it's own department for Chrome development. So if we as the user base weren't complaining and were fine with having the good stable version of Opera and waiting until the next version was released. I think this whole being envious thing was gotten to far because I understand the point of Opera Next but really I never understood the whole Opera Developer Stream and although I can see it's use scenario it' still redundant and pointless

Opera DragonflyOpera for Windows
I just want to know what is the plan for Dragonfly. Is it gonna be killed off or is it gonna be integrated into a later version of Opera. In all honesty the "inspector" for chrome suck it's one of the worst browser developer tool out there. I never used Opera 15+ but have come around now to start using it but i'm still using Opera 12 for development because it has Dragonfly, the best developer tool period

Opera ThemesOpera for Windows
One thing I always likes about opera was the theme. Even before the old "new" theme system that allowed you to completely change the look and feel of opera. I'm just wondering if the current way the theme is set up is going to change or stay the same because what's the point of a theme if the only time you see it is when you are on the start page or inside the settings. Why not have the theme cover over the whole browser like opera 12 or like ever other webkit based browser
