I was an Opera fan for-frickin'-ever, but I switch to Chrome just recently.
Opera's been light-years ahead of most in the browser industry, but then Things Just Stopped Working. Updating my browser for any reason would mean that bookmark syncronizing stopped for a few days until I figured out why it was broken this time, then I had to manually re-sync my bookmarks.
It has a bunch of features I don't use (torrent client, chat client, mail client, Opera Unite), isn't supported as well, so you run into render problems from time to time, and hasn't copied some of the REALLY good ideas from its competitors, despite having ample time to do so (when I close a tab, I expect the next tab close button to align itself automatically under my mouse button like Chrome).
Opera's my #2 fave browser, but that doesn't mean it really gets any use. I use Chrome for browsing, Firefox for developing, IE for testing, and Opera...
Opera, we had a good run. But it's over. I'm sure you'll find someone new.
