This was a point that Brendan Eich made in "Why Mozilla Matters"[1]: "Mozilla is not Opera. If we were a more conventional business, without enough desktop browser-market share, we would probably have to do what Opera has done. But we’re not just a business, and our desktop share seems to be holding or possibly rising — due in part to the short-term wins we have been able to build on Gecko." I don't think people are blaming Opera; they are just frustrated at the loss of some diversity in the rendering engine space. At least we can expect some fresh injection of open standards support in the WebKit project from the Opera team, which should benefit all WebKit users.
