I must say that I'm as disappointed as you are. However I have heard
some rumors that many other people (some Mozilla developers too) share
our opinion, and that they will gather around, take the current
Mozilla code and keep developing it under a different name and in
different organization. Sounds similar to what happened to OS
InterBase and Firebird. I just hope these rumors are true.

Have you tried Amaya? I've heard that it is good. Although I too use
Mozilla Composer. It's really the right tool for the job.

With things cooking like this, I makes me think: who is really pulling
the strings in Mozilla organization? It looks like the developers are
paid by someone who decides the strategy? I really don't think that
the entire developer community would just suddenly decide to abandon
one so important project.
