I really wish browsers were like emacs and that one could replace the whole UI on a dull rainy day.
Which is the big one then?
I don't understand how curved tabs are supposed to get "out of the way". The new design seems to use less standard UI elements to push it's own (WinXP / Fisher-Price) agenda: I don't see any gains here and I reckon they just want to appeal to the chrome crowd.
It looks even more like chrome now.
DISCLAIMER: I don't like chrome.
There's already a Wanderlust:
Argh, it still has this:

Edit: I would fix this myself, but don't even know where to look...
I have experienced this bug for years: everything I send over GTalk goes to the NSA.
I'm surprised Emacs was not mentioned. It provides a nice cross-platform interface to ... everything. Also everything (including looks) can be customized!
