Re:XUL is holding back Mozilla project (Score 1)

You claim the functionality XUL provides to application and web developers is worth the trade off to the performance of the web browser. For a developer this tradeoff may be worthwhile. However you are failing to consider the average web browser user. Mr & Mrs Joe Blogs doesn't want or need XUL framework which competes with .NET if as a result they get a fat & slow XUL based web browser which does not conform to the native user interface of their operating system. While the Mozilla developers fail to understand this point Mozilla will never become a mainsteam web browser - it will be doomed to be a niche web browser for advanced users.
