I'm sad to read that you have to leave. But I think, this is a time to say "Thank you" again.

Thank you for all your work on Gentoo!

I wish you good luck in real life.

And I hope that someday working on Portage will be a paid job :)

As a user I would like to give my humble thanks for your contributions and hope that the personal reasons are of the good variety. Glad to see you are still active in the forums.

It's not just one or two things but many little issues. E.g. in firefox-2 they moved the close button for tabs from the right side of the tabbar onto the active tab which caused me some grieve as on many sites I used to open a lot of tabs up front (one for each article/post), and let the mouse cursor sit in that one place to close them one after the other, that didn't work anymore after the change. Or that not all tabs were displayed anymore and you had to use the dropdown box/sliders to switch back and forth. Also I experienced major performance issues on some sites I visit frequently (only on linux though, so system-specific and probably hard to analyze). And with firefox-3 there were also some new render issues.
As for configuration/extensions, that only works to a certain degree, when it gets too much you'll have to consider a more drastic change.

btw you can turn off that address bar. What is it exactly that you dislike about Firefox 3? There might be about:config ways to turn it off or extensions to do the same.

Personally I'm glad system and world are separated. It makes gcc upgrades much less redundant. Currently I don't do an `emerge -e system` first, I just go straight into `emerge -e world` which I know may give me consistency issues with the tool chain, but man I hate having to compile all those packages twice.

Probably the most suitable thing are regular expression. Allowing people to use them like in PLD Linux would be very effective and made everyone happy without the need of creating and maintaining packages sets.

--update already implies --noreplace, so nothing to fear there.
