The Mozilla team has always had a very clear vision of what they wanted Firefox to be. Other projects have different visions, that's why open source is so powerful. But of course, some haters will say that "segmentation is disastrous", call for a unified Linux distro, a single open source browser to rule them all, and so on.
I don't agree. Choice is good. It forces people to think for themselves, even people that aren't nerds. Chrome has already added some new ideas into the browser market, and it has provided a good alternative to some people that wanted speed (formerly Operas throne) and simplicity (formerly Firefox's) and could do without some extensions for now.
Chrome is being developed for Linux too. Even if I understand the frustration that it isn't already on the Linux platform I can't understand why it isn't obvious to everyone why Google released it for Windows first and puts its focus there. It's called market share. It's a no brainer.
