No, faithful RSS Types, you're not seeing triple, Textpatten + OmniWeb = messing up stuff. It triple posted the story, and gave me three identical titles. So I'll take this chance to update you on something that I love talking about...writers who don't suck.

Speaking of writers who don't suck, I read this article from Dan Pourhadi about this very OmniWeb what I was using to write that last rant about Arizona justice. Turns out, OmniWeb is not, as Dan points out, "all that."

See? I can be hip as the youths are these days! I got the parachute pants and the one glove and the rock and roll music with the loud bass drums and the expletives and such.

Anyways, I used OmniWeb about 15 minutes after I started using Mac OS X, just to see what it would look like to use a Cocoa browser. The beauty of the interface was amazing - you just can't imagine how beautiful pages look when all you have is Firefox or IE. Sorry, that's just how it is.

About 16 minutes after I started using OmniWeb, I found out what OmniCrashCatcher was. It's this ingenious program that will figure out that your program has crashed, and offer to send a report to the Omni Group so they can fix whatever cause the browser to crash. And crash it did. A lot.

Now, we're talking about the dark says of Mac OS X 10.0.0 here, so crashing programs was hardly unexpected. However, OmniWeb was developed for NeXTStep, the precursor to Mac OS X. It was basically re-written for OS X, so it should've been one of the best programs ever written for OS X.

Now, don't get me wrong, OmniWeb is practically the best browser ever made, even with the $30 price tag. The distance between it and Safari is closing up, though. If I had my druthers, I'd always use Safari, since it does almost all the same things, and doesn't guess forms like OmniWeb does (all you Firefox users are tracking with me right now).

Go read Dan, and tell him what a lying liar his lying liar self is. The liar.
