It depends on your point of view, I could bring up similar arguments with Chrome. There is still no way in Chrome to open more than 25 tabs without the tabs being so small we can't see them and the Settings page of Chrome is not an example of clean UI either.

They both are great browser. I am not trying to say one is good and other is bad. What I am trying to say is that because of the reasons mentioned above it has been hard for me to adopt to Firefox. Chrome is Google's platform they want to push their services and has become more of an application platform with Chrome only apps and less of a browser. I would like a browser that promotes a free web.

For example, Diigo's addon doesn't have overlay icon so it is impossible for me to tell if I have already bookmarked a page or not. Like many addons on Firefox Diigo has both sidebar and toolbar. So basically they have developed 3 UI elements and none of which work well. There is clearly Diigo's fault here but applications are as good as platform.
