Over the past few weeks I've been trying to integrate TabCandy into my daily browsing. Here's my verdict: overall I think TabCandy is a great idea to solve a definite problem, and has a LOT of potential, but unfortunately its present implementation is not ready for prime-time; IMO it's odd, non-logical, over-complicated, frustrating to use, non-consistent with existing window management paradigms, actually makes me ''less'' productive, and is dangerous. Yes, ''dangerous'' - once you let this mess of a monster out in its current form (spouting its own new tab-management paradigms) it will be difficult to get it back in its cage. Therefore, I'd rather Mozilla thought about all the available options much more carefully before this officially becomes part of Firefox proper. | Over the past few weeks I've been trying to integrate TabCandy into my daily browsing.

Well, let me re-emphasise how I recognise that there is a ''VERY'' good idea in here and a *very* nice interface - unfortunately, I feel there is a severe logical flaw in its current form - that would be such a shame, as lost potential like this really annoys me! :) | ||
