I think Chrome as of late. I like the unified URL/search bar, the native PDF support, flash support, the fact that it never prompts me to upgrade (firefox's upgrade-on-startup thing annoys the living crap out of me), etc... Comment...

Question: Have you consider to change reaper's release model from feature based to time based releases? just saying...
Asked by gio (62.103.65.x) on July 27 2011, 12:43am
Reply on July 27 2011, 3:54am:

Our normal cycle (i.e. 3.0 to 3.7x) is time based. Occasionally you need to go do deeper digging that requires a lot more time spent testing, so we like to reserve that for the big numbers. It does take a while, but it seems to be working OK. Time based releases make more sense to me if your software is integrating a lot of packages that are developed at their own pace. Comment...
