I've used Opera in the past, it is a decent browser, especially after Opera 10 was released. I use it on Mint, sharing time with Firefox. Those "speed dials" can be confusing at first, but you get used to it. I'm actually surprised that it's not a higher rated browser than it is.
One thing that it could use is the eye candy that Safari has. Looks count for a lot these days, and Opera could use a little more. But it's still not a bad browser, and they have a good email program, too. I've used Operamail for over a year now, and they do a decent job of filtering spam.
Opera has a lot of potential to be a contender, it's not IE, but Firefox standing in their way. That being said, they could be an easy third place browser, as long as they keep advancing the way they are.
