Even the basic version of FF is superior to all other browsers. Mine is 
additionally pimped with many extensions, most of them web developer based, 
which makes it an irreplaceable tool for me. IE7 still sucks. Safari has 
it's quirks, too. 

The Mozilla project is proving that open source software is able to 
outperform commercial software. Firefox actually does it hands down and I 
don't expect IE or Safari to catch up soon.
