SeaMonkey is a must for anyone who started out on Netscape Communicator (the original powerhouse web apps suite) and appreciates the value and utility of such a full-featured, well-integrated suite. For those who don’t know the history, Netscape Communicator was succeeded by the Mozilla Suite. When Mozilla Foundation decided to focus on its individual apps (Firefox, T’bird, etc.), SeaMonkey became its own independent project.

The apps in the SeaMonkey Suite are both powerful and elegant. The Navigator browser is still my browser of choice, as is the Mail & Newsgroups app. And there is seldom a day that goes by when I don’t use Composer.

The Address Book app has been the weakest link in the suite (that was true even in the Mozilla Suite), but its print functionality has improved. I can't comment on the IRC Chat app as I've only used it a couple of times, but it seemed functional enough.

Perhaps the biggest weakness in SeaMonkey is its documentation; It could use far more detail to help the user who is unfamiliar with its many powerful features. However, I offer that ONLY as an observation, not as a criticism. I do recognize that the most obvious solution to the documentation problem is to do it myself. After all, the SeaMonkey Project is maintained by volunteers. One of these days I'm going to MAKE the time to improve the documentation.

In the meantime, I will continue to use SeaMonkey with nothing but the highest sense of gratitude to its developers. It is an extraordinary achievement. Its power and flexibility probably exceed the needs of most users, but I suspect that there are many folks who would benefit greatly from using it if they only knew what it can do. The price (free!) is certainly hard to beat.

I'd really like to make more of this, and simplify my browsing and mail, but sadly neither BookMacster or 1Password work with it, so it never gets past a quick test.

I use Sea Monkey for writing and editing web pages primarily, and while it lacks the functionality of Dreamweaver, the price is right! It beats Amaya, Blue Griffon and Kompozer, which (alas!) has been abandoned.

Whoa! Still trying to get this review right!

1. By commenting on the shareware developers, I don't want to dismiss the work done by the Mozilla community pro bono on SeaMonkey. It's awesome!

2. I help an emerita professor (pro bono) with her Mac problems. This extraordinary woman is still writing books in her eighties! Anyway, she has used Netscape Navigator since its inception, so in order to ease her into "the modern age" I segued her into the SeaMonkey platform. This has proved "just what the doctor ordered" for her and has kept things relatively simple for me.

Accidentally I overrated SeaMonkey in my last post.

I use SeaMonkey to create and edit a number of websites. One reason is that I'm cheap and don't want to pay a bunch of money for a commercial or shareware app to do these tasks. Yet I would be happy to plunk my money down if I could be assured that they could give me a better user experience. Having tried trial versions of a number of them, I'm still not convinced that they would.

I used to own Dreamweaver, and while I miss may of its features, I can't justify it expense. (Am still trying to get my employer to buy be a copy. So far no luck.)

To give credit to those who do create web design apps for the shareware market: I admire what you're doing and would love to choose your product .Yet at this point I'm not sure which one would be best for my uses.

By wanting to do too many things, I got the feeling that SeaMonkey ends up not doing anything properly, and loses people in the intricacy of its functionalities and support websites. I tried it for a long moment, then wanted to use the HTML editor, only to find that it didn't behave in a way I could understand and that there was not much help to obtain from the website. It might be a great tool for many people - although I think that as a free alternative, both Safari and Firefox are decent and updated very often - but sea monkey is a very complex world one has to learn its way into. I apologize to anyone if this comment is hurtful, I seem to have missed a point, but when I tried to access a "bug reporting" or "faq" or "suggestions" page, I was all the more lost and didn't feel like my feedback was needed. On top of a poor design, it meant the end for me. And I am still looking for a free, basic and simple WYSIWYG HTML editor...

SeaMonkey, like Camino, is a Mozilla product specifically designed to fill a certain niche, for people who want an integrated web environment. It's not for everybody. SeaMonkey is part of the same family as Firefox, and therefore, it is intentionally designed not to be exactly like it. They each exist for different reasons.

I upgraded from version 1.6 and this version is just great. Sleek, simple and very fast and has minimal bugs too. Works fine so far.

i have only een using tiger for a few weeks and tried seamonkey because i didn't care for safari.

I'm pleased with seamonkey (v1.7) except for the fact you cant copy and paste. When I try to highlight text, as soon as I move the trackball (logitech marble) I get a menu that looks like I right clicked. The copy and paste works fine in other apps.

i found mention of this problem from 2006 but can't find anything recent. Is this a seamonkey bug or is it a logitech unintentional negative enhancement?

thanks,

Bob
