 Mostly due to Microsoft making IE intentionally different. Embrace,

 What I remember from the early days fondly was Netscape Communicator.
 I used that at a couple of companies for POP3 email, then later IMAP.
 I'd set up an internal NNTP server for collaboration and we'd use it
 for internal teams chat. Pair that with Palm Desktop and you'd hear
 Palms syncing throughout the building. It worked pretty well for the
 time.

 I tried Mozilla SeaMonkey, reminded me a lot of the UI from
 Communicator, but it refuses to load randomly and isn't very well
 updated these days.
