Not sure what criteria you value but there are a lot of things that for ME makes Opera a pretty useless browser in its current state.
Flash 9 is becoming quickly irrelevant and always was a cpu hog, I don't miss it. For the repos there is already the application manager, running it from the browser is a small system integration issue, not an important feature for a browser. The scrolling goes haywire, this a serious UI bug in this current build that I hope will be solved. There is a lack of zoom-steps, no doubt about that, but the current zoom works ok most of the time. About my criteria: the UI is the most usable I've seen, and the fastest one (firefox is nice but sloooooooow), the rendering speed is very good, the javascript engine is the fastest one by far, and memory usage is quite low.
Before opera, slashdot had become completely unusable, now I can read it again.
