Been using Mozilla with very few problems since 0.9.4. Now at 0.9.8 most of 
the bugs for normal browsing seem to have been addressed. The only sites that 
give me problems are those that snif for IE/NN4 exclusively.

Haven't seen that in Mozzie, although I've seen it plenty of times with NN4.x

It's not a matter of "choice" - AOL are about to switch their browser to a 
Gecko based engine (same as Netscape 6 / Mozilla). Apparently that's about 30 
million AOL users (sheesh!!!) which is a fair market share like it or not.

But seriously, if you have sites playing up, check they will validate. You 
can't blame Netscape6 / Mozzie for barfing on sloppy code or proprietary 
tags, which they will ...
