I did for a while, but I've been using it more and more and find it to be an invaluable tool.

I just used it a few minutes ago to translate an article that my friend @Tales tweeted about editing video on non-3GS iPhones.

I've also used the edit command to mock-up screenshots for a recent proposal. You can also use it to have a little fun.

 I decided to mock-up a new theme for my blog/website. This is still a work in progress, but I thought it would be interesting to post this now to compare it to the final theme.

Let me know what you think. I've only spent about 2 hours on it so far.

Chrome is built from Google's opensource project Chromium. I installed it and give it a whirl, it's definetly buggy as hell.
