Anyone using it? If so, what do you think?
I've never really strayed from IE but am considering making a switch to a new browser...

Seriously, it's not that hard. You can even test it out every once in a while and work yourself off of IE. Installing/uninstalling is quick and easy.
Some of my favorite featueres:
-Tabbed browsing. (Hit ctrl-t) for tabs.
-Get the mouse gestures extension. You can open open, close, swtich between tabs by flicking your mouse. (Those CS skills come in handy here)
-Search as you type. Tired of actually reading a page for somethign that you alredy know is there? Just press the '/' key and start typing your word or phrase.
-Googlebar extension (if you're into that sort of thing)
-RSS feeds directly to your browser (you can open them from your bookmarks folder)
-The address bar sorts sites by how many times you've visited it. (Ie, type 'g' into my addressbar and www.google.com comes up first instead of www.gaystupidsite.com)
For web developers:
-DOM object inspector helps you analyse the layout of your site.
-Page style switcher allows you to view different CSS styles for the page.
-Easy to activate/deactivate jave/javascript.
-View page in IE extension available.
... Bleh Enough of that. You get the point.

yeah. I think its worth it. one of my points was, that you don't even really have to swtich. I've been using Firefox for about a year now (it was called firebird at the time)
I've found some websites are still coded with only IE as the target audience. For sites like that, there's a firefox extension called ieview. It adds a right-click option within firefox that will launch IE into the page you are currently viewing. So you can browse normally in firefox and if a site looks weird, you can quickly open up IE.
So, again. Yes I suggest you try it out.
