I just alerted my fellow, campus web developers to the fact that the 
laptops they handed out to new students this year have Mozilla 1.0 
pre-loaded.  Why use it?

Features for the developer (see Tools > Web Development ... how cool is 
that?!):
         DOM Inspector (and CSS2 tabs in the sidebar >> see DevEdge)
         Java console
         Javascript console
         Javascript debugger
         local XSL transformations
         high compliance with web standards ... which allows the designer 
to see, finally, how it was all meant to be.  :)

Features for the user:
         "Managers" for cookies, forms, passwords, downloads, images.
         Ability to turn off specific scripting actions, like "unrequested 
windows" (pop-ups).
         Sidebar
         easier (imho) bookmark/toolbar management


Cheers,
-kb
