The pace is not slow. It's a Herculean job to rewrite a browser from the ground up. I'm sure many power users will leave for other browsers but new users who don't care that much about the myriad of features in a browser will be added to the new Opera. Opera is finally on the right track.
As I said, I'm sure the Opera team is doing its best but from the user's point of view, half a year (when v.18 final is released) to implement such minimalistic bookmark management (as compared to every other browser) IS slow. And it doesn't bode well for all the other missing features.
As for new users, I hope you're right for Opera's sake but honestly I doubt it will attract that many. IE and Safari have the advantage of being installed by default, Chrome has Google's solid fanbase and aggressive marketing... I'm not sure why the non "power users" would want to migrate to Opera assuming they even hear about it. Features and customization were its main advantage and they killed it. And of course other browsers continue to evolve on their own while Opera is painfully trying to catch up. This really doesn't strike me as a winning strategy.
