so what

Well a classic Gnome example. Either kill Epiphany or kill Galeon. There is no other OS/desktop enviroment that has 2 official browsers. And if you think that this makes Gnome better you are wrong. If fact all this does is confuse the not so well familiar with gnome users. Oh and testing both browsers is a waste of time because at the end you will only keep one. Like Gnome isn't already creating enough problems for itself and confusions ... plus if the devs really wanted to help, the Epyphany and Galeon teams could just join forces and work on a single best-of-both-worlds project. Otherwise both teams lose. But then again the prospect of losing never really stopped Gnome developers from doing stupid things ...
