stacked buttons and address bar... why?

[James Cho <jamec umich edu>]

So what's the idea behind cluttering the buttons bar with tools rarely 
used (everything to the right of "Reload") and creating a separate row 
for the addressbar?  Talk about wasted space, and shortsighted "usable" 
design.  Did Netscape and Microsoft really get it right then with their 
original browser designs?  It seems to me that the Safari/Firefox GUI 
is more concise _and_ easier to use.  Epiphany's default GUI is drawn 
out and verbose, like a "learn to program" book that describes how to 
use a mouse and what a CPU is in chapter 1.
