Try using it.  The more I use it the more I like it, despite the bad 
press and my own bad first impression.  I use it at home under Win98SE, 
Win2000 at work, and on my Linux box.   Despite the few crashes I've 
had, its crashed FAR less than IE.  The multiple mail accouts is great.  
The only two things I've found that really bite are :

(1) I can't open the streaming audio from radio stations ( try 
www.995thewolf.com ) and click on  listen.  Choose the Windows media 
player.  It doesn't open properly
(2) If you have AOL IM 4.3, Netscape 6's IM client won't authorize  
you.  Usually, it just kicks off your older session, and starts a new 
one.  This doesn't happen under AOL IM 4.1.x

Other than those two, I've uninstallled all the older versions of 4.x
