First Impression: Camino 1.5 Is A Sleek, Fast Mac Browser
I've been working today on a review of the recently released version 1.5 of the Camino Mac Web browser. So far, I'm impressed. It's lightweight, sleek and fast, and fixes a lot of the user interface clumsiness that's kept me off Camino in the past.

New features of Camino 1.5 include a spellchecker based on the built-in Mac OS X spell-checker, session-saving, and improved tabs.
One question I'm still trying to find an answer to: I've read that Camino is superior because it supports the standard Mac Cocoa app framework, while Firefox is built on XUL, which means that Cocoa behaves like other Mac apps, while Firefox for Mac behaves more like Firefox for Windows. I'm looking for specifics on why this is important, along with examples of how Firefox doesn't behave consistently with other Mac apps.
Do you use Camino? Why? Have you tried Version 1.5? What do you think?
