I guess you can call me a hardcore user - with 837 bookmarks and a network I read over RSS - and in terms of functionality, there is really nothing I would like added to del.icio.us. I wouldn't mind seeing some new ideas / technology well implemented, but at the moment there is just nothing lacking. Synchronization with the browser is irrelevant - who the hell wants to do that? And why? Bookmarks in your browser are an anachronism, nowadays you should just use ScrapBook for Firefox, instantly saving the contents with the webpage link and having it all searchable. Because otherwise, you have to remember WHERE you've seen the content that you most often just vaguely remember seeing somewhere. Also, I have to laugh at the "design is in the rut" crowd.

THIS is the innacurate part. The domains can easily be aliased together, and then (as they are when you check), redirected with a 301 Moved Permanently redirect. So - the two domains are not separate anymore - but function as one entity - sharing stats and everything else. This part is not innacurate.
