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.

People will laugh at anything here.

Hey! That's not a fair example. "Walrus Bucket" is hilarious.

If I am understanding you correctly, I believe that it is possible in C, using macros. If you include the following in each file:

#ifndef MAIN_ALREADY_DEFINED__

#define MAIN_ALREADY_DEFINED__

int main(){

/* file specific stuff */

}

#endif

Disclaimer: I wouldn't actually do this in practice...
