Do you think if it is possible that Opera could do some cleanup of its product lines? There were some successful things, such as Opera Mail client. But there is a lot of unused gadgets. It would be great if Opera had some statistics about usage of specific features. I personally don't know anyone using bittorent, widgets, unite. (I'm from Poland, Opera is quite popular here)

There was a project on collecting usage statistics, but I don't know what the current status is, or how the data was used. I doubt the features you mention will disappear anytime soon, that would probably be seen as a little too drastic.

Opera probably still wants to push the browser as a platform, especially on devices (http://www.opera.com/business/devices/), and widgets and Unite are important for this.
