My OperaOpera is getting worse and worse? Why?

Hello everyone,
I’m using Opera browser since 2002. I was happy Opera user and Opera was a great browser. But it’s not now. Why?
Last great Opera version was Opera 9.x. (Both desktop and mobile version, but I’m talking only about desktop version now.) Opera 10 and 11 came with a lot of new features and a lot of changes, but these versions came with a lot of new bugs and problems too! I have nothing against changes, when I’m able to set it back as I was used to for many years. It looks like that Opera hates loyal users and wants to get rid of them! There are a lot of features, that I hate and I can’t disable them, since Opera 10!
I’m used to open more than one hundred tabs – years ago there were no problems. Opera ran for a month with hundred opened tabs without restart, without stability problem, memory issues or problems with Flash and Java. Opera was the best browser for me. Yesterday I had to restart Opera 11 for 6 times due problem with HTTPS pages, but it’s not the only one problem. There are problems with Flash and Java plugins from Opera 10 – sometimes plugin stops working and I must restart Opera and then starts working perfectly. I know that there could be bug in plugin, but Opera should restart plugin internally.
I was waiting with upgrade to Opera 11 for a few weeks, because I was afraid of Opera 10 and there was major issue with mouse gestures. Unfortunately I was right and I’m thinking about downgrade to Opera 10.63. With Opera 11 came more problems than features! It was expectable. What could happen when there are 3 release candidates’ versions in 2 days? Nothing good. Why is Opera so in hurry? QA can’t test build so fast; it looks like that Opera has no longer QA department.
I was happy Opera user, but I’m angry Opera user. I’m considering changing my main browser, but Opera has 2 very important features for me. MDI interface has no other browser and tabs wrapped to multiple lines.
What do you thing? Is there a way, how to send this directly to Opera? I’m not expecting, that I would get replay, but I would be happy, if some responsible person would read it.
I can write down list of features/bugs/thing what I hate on Opera 10 and 11, but I would take some time (probably a few weeks if it would have been full list), so I’ll never do it, probably.
Please, consider this as my opinion. I don’t want to argue. Of course, you can disagree, it’s your right :)
Happy New Year 2011, with better Opera!
