I agree, if you go for dedicated clients (irc, mail, rss) you will get more power/functionality if you need them; but I feel that in Opera I get the optimal balance between functionality and complexity. To each his own.

Still, I don't understand what benefits are to explicitly disabling Opera's built-in torrent client; why not use something else?

Opera always override default torrent application on my machine. I found it to be easier to just disable Opera's built-in BitTorrent than changing back the default every few days. I wish they have this simple "Use Opera to handle BitTorrent" checkbox in the Preferences.
