OK. The antialiased text is a start.
But DANG is typing in text fields slow!!!!! The text often has to catch up to me, what with me typing with the dvorak keyboard layout.
Sheesh! It's REALLY slow!!!
Anyway. Things like buttons and text fields and radio buttons still don't look as good as OmniWeb. But it still seems to be very fast.
OK, enough of this stupid slow text field stuff! I'm back to OmniWeb. Just this makes it unusable!!!

OK, that text field thing really really annoyed me. Chimera, at 0.2, is still unusable. Sorry gplex and others.
I also would've liked the creators to do an approach like OmniWeb when displaying webpages -- display the things as you get them, not when it's all finished. That way if there's one resource holding them all up, you can still start reading.
One other thing I need to rant about. The size. OmniWeb is _23_ megabytes for _17_ languages, while Navigator is 25 megabytes for only _1_ language. OmniWeb is smaller and has more languages!! OmniWeb with only English is something like 13 MB.
Well, I can't say that I was all that impressed, just because of that text field thing. I guess it still has a long way to go. But judging at the reactions that the progress Chimera was getting and the rants about 0.2, I seemed to get the feeling that Chimera 0.2 was going to be the end-all-be-all of web browsers on OS X. But it isn't.
