Yes, we seem to be slipping back into the bad old days...
I remember one of my first Linux installs, a paid for box set of an 
early Suse release.
5 different word processors, 6 calculators, 4 browsers, 7 text editors, 
etc, etc...

It was all stupidly confusing... It was one of the first things that 
struck me about Breezy...
Oh look - only one browser, only one word processor, only one editor, 
only one etc etc... How very sensible...


Now, Firefox, Epiphany, Midori, Amaya, Dillo, Galeon, SeaMonkey and even 
Links/Lynx and W3M... And now Chrome...
not to mention all the backend stuff like 
webkit/gecko/java/javascript/SWF/etc/etc...

Makes you wonder how much could be achieved in just the browser arena, 
if all that effort all pulled in the same direction.... Argh...
