It's always had great speed, performance, security and has a long history of innovation. When you consider how many features they've created that have become defaults across browsers, everyone is using Opera to one degree or another.

Chrome is a glorified data mining device and just feels overly sterile and corporate, FF grew complacent and has always been buggy, but Opera has everything I need built right into it:torrent client, note taker (very easy to use, super useful since I'l always taking notes on one tutorial or another), selective ad-blocking, the adress field doubles as a search field for any engine I want,it has the most customizable GUI and Opera Unite is awesome for file sharing- a couple friends and I use it to raid each others media collections every few months.
