But still no support for being opera instead of a crappy chrome clone? What happened to that whole "we're not going to make the webkit based releases the official releases until we've added back all the missing features from opera 12" thing?

Market pressure.

Even so, the rate at which they're adding back the features is unbelievable - I think it 12 months they'll have all the old Opera features back sans IRC client and mail client (which they said they'd drop anyway).

Opera's future looks really promising if they can survive this very bumpy ride.

Came to say the same thing. Bring back mouse chording damnit! (Not to mention all of the little things that made Opera, Opera).
You still can't make a search engine like DuckDuckGo the default and DragnFly is still missing in action :-(
Bookmarks are older than Opera 12 and they're gone as well
this. And the absence of the mail client, of course.
