Right ... I'm just surprised the consensus didn't follow in the other
direction :) In most cases the Gnome (and Ubuntu for that matter) design
follows: "Provide a simple and elegant solution that works for most
people, and give those who need something more complex an easy way to
get it." I would think this lends itself towards Epiphany as the default
browser. I cannot think of a single feature the current Epiphany lacks
that most would need (except for possibly wanting a hierarchal bookmark
structure, which is being worked on actively and will most likely reach
HEAD at some point).

That will be awesome, but until then shouldn't Ubuntu provide what best
integrates now?
