I think this kind of sourpuss attitude about Mozilla isn't helpful. What they did with addons is about maturing the platform, making it a safer operating environment for non-power users. I believe it's a matter of time and maturity for Mozilla to support 99% of add-on requirements with their more secure, chrome-like, addon system. The fact that vimperator can't be written in today's Firefox, or that it would be a mighty pain to do so right now, is acceptable to me if it means Firefox is less hackable. I've certainly been critical of Mozilla and dislike how the browser has been dumbed-down in many respects over the years in-service of making it an application delivery platform. But, in my opinion, stability and security have to be job #1 for Mozilla.
