Even if Opera is (far) away from being perfect (Well, I do know, that my requirements are not those of "normal" people 
but Opera needs to get faster again as it's freezing too ofen. 
), it's just a really great program 
and I don't want to live without it! I'm sure, I'm not even able to hide my fascination, admiration nor my excitement to anybody surfing my blog. 
Now Opera opens it's sack full of gifts (one more time), just to get YOUR opinion about what you like (most) about your preferred browser (just speaking of the Opera browser, if anybody should be thinking something else like... IE perhaps?
). Everybody posting her/his oppionion will be on the list for the random drawings for different prizes from steelseries (btw: I've even got one of those flexible steelseries mousepads ). So, go ahead!
You'll find my list at the end of this post. Perhaps there's something in it, you didn't even know or you want to ask about or discuss. Feel free to post!

what wand and sessions do you mean??
ääähhh... "something in it you didn't even know".. i think i just know half of the features you mentionned ^^

there are definitely more positive than negative points
@christl
i think you know those features just not there names
wand -> passwordmanager
sessions -> safed windows and tabs which can be loaded with opera starting eg (to continue where you quit the last time)
but if you like i'll show you some tips&tricks next time visiting

the great CSS and SVG support
mouse gestures
rendering speed
good memory usage
the highly configurable sidebar
sessions
tab behaviour (duplicate, manually sorting, moving tabs outside to create new window, moving tabs from one window to another, ...)
the address bar search ("g whatImlookingfor" for Google for example)
the super easy in page search (just hit the dot key and start searching)
Opera Link
Site preferences
I dislike
there is no option to start a fast session (not using the last session, neither remembering the current)
tabs not groupable
the transfer tool has no search
Dragonfly is already good, but still needs some development
an easier way to perform a clean reload of a website (without using the cache, but instead overwriting the cached files), like pressing ctrl+shift+F5
Still... I LOVE Opera. Always the first software I install on any of my computers.

also the rss-feed stops working from time to time which forces me to restart too.
further opera freezes a lot of times which also causes mouse gestures not being recognized correctly (instead of closing tabs, most of the time opera opens a new one for me
and finally the support has been, IME, better some years ago.
