While I *really* try to migrate from Firefox to Epiphany with each
GNOME/Fedora release and fail each time, going back to FF for whatever
missing feature, I think this is a discuss worth having: for other cases
(like BitTorrent, where the default was changed to Transmission, which I
absolutely love) we have by default the simpler, "less featured", but
better integrated and easier to use application, leaving for the expert
user, who need the extra-features, to change the default.
