Well, I guess you could look at it the other way, with firefox 4 being released is there much in chrome that provides a significant advantage to the end user?
Sure Chrome has iterated faster and as a result the current Chrome is a lot better than FF3.6, is this the case with 4 now though?

Well no, you can't look at it that way. The fact that Chrome is no longer significantly better is hardly a reason to get excited about FF4 :)

I disagree. There are 400-450 million Firefox users that absolutely will benefit in huge ways from this update. There may have been a time for a while there where some chunk of those users felt like Chrome could offer them more, but that time is gone now.
I'd go a step further and say that now there are going to be an increasing number of Chrome users who will compare to Firefox 4 and want the performance and feature improvements that it has over Chrome and that may hold true for some time.
So, yes, you could look at it that way.
