I think he has a point. I switched from Firefox to Chrome about a month ago; I think Chrome's interface is much nicer, and it is faster than Firefox. The two major drawbacks of Chrome for me were:
- no extensions for Chrome (I miss Adblock and Flashblock)
- Linux edition not available (I'm waiting for the beta to come out)
If it weren't for Google's promises to come out with extensions and a Linux version, I wouldn't have switched.
The main advantage Firefox previously had was that it's so much better than IE. Now it has to be better than IE and Chrome; this is a pretty high barrier to dominance.
