couldn’t they just change the rendering engine and leave the UI and features the way they were (i dunno, port them)? this was actually what people have been talking about that “Opera is just going to change the web renderer engine, not the whole thing.” but now looking at Oper 15, i dunno why they chose to do this and give up on every single feature they’ve developed for the past 15 years! everything that made Opera what it is, is gone.
actually most of the people didn’t give a shit about “presto”; the advantage of Opera was having lots of integrated features, advanced options to control every single setting in the browser, and a fully customizable UI like this: http://i.imgur.com/MVfgoat.jpg
