*looks towards IE9's superbar integration*
Yeah... No innovation there... I'd actually rather have the same superbar integration in Firefox than that useless Panorama thingy. It might be something useful in the future but it's the present that matters to me, not empty promises for a more innovative future.

Well, you know how I feel about the Superbar integration -- it's awesome indeed.
It was one of the main questions I asked both Google and Mozilla -- 'is it easy to include Superbar integration in your browser?' -- but each time I never really got a response.
I guess because it was too close to the time and they hadn't yet investigated... (I think it's pretty easy -- more of a Windows feature than an IE9 feature.)

While superbar is nice, it's exactly like panorama in that some will find it useful, while others won't. I personally am so used to managing tabs at the top that shifting that to the bottom of the screen is going to completely mess up my workflow.
Not sure why you say "empty promises for a more innovative future" when panorama is out now in beta, and will be in FF4 on release. If you don't find it useful that's fine, doesn't mean it's not innovative.
And in general he's got a good point about the need to, at least in part, design for the future. I mean, you think many people had 20 browser windows open before tabs were introduced? Yet someone thought "hey, maybe we should try this tab thing and see how it goes".
