I don't really use Dropbox, but I was randomly browsing through mine looking for a photo the other day and it was a "holy shit" moment. It's really fast to scroll through a huge number of photos. I had been scrolling through Flickr a few minutes before and it was a massive difference. Flickr was very much a scroll-and-wait experience.

For me, Flickr is basically unusable. Slideshows are impossibly slow, information is positioned outside the browser viewport, and simply bringing up an image-page is reminder of dialup. I can only blame inertial lockin for their usage numbers.
