My Rant About Google Chrome

Chrome is fast, and its made by Google so there is that feel-good aspect. But other than that it just plain sucks.
- Gears is not fully implemented, just try Google Docs offline
- There are no toolbars or useful plugins
- A crashed process in one tab is not supposed to crash the browser, but it will
- Google continues to create plug-ins and toolbars for FireFox and IE but not for Chrome.
Bad, bad, bad!  They created a kickass browser and then stranded its users with no add-ons.
I hate to say it, but it feels a tad uncaring and out of control.  What are they thinking?

My only consolation is my gut-feeling expectation that all the goodies are in the pipline and will be available soon.  I hope I am not wrong.
