It's built on QT (like KDE, only it uses its own copy which is a bit of a pain WRT throwing away memory if you're using KDE) and honestly seems a bit slicker to me than all the other browsers. You could complain about its kitchen-sink approach to building a browser but its pluses seem to far outnumber its faults. On the other paw, Firefox 3 seems to be a dramatic improvement at least on my systems. And it's not remotely out of beta yet (read: is full of debug code still). Opera is nice stuff.
