 MacDevCenter.com: First Look: OmniWeb 5 Beta
OmniWeb went from rising star to sinking moon because some grumbled that it was too slow and its features were out-of-date.

 Subtraction: OmniWeb Tweaks I’d Like to See
OmniWeb’s visual tab drawer is a great innovation, but not having a Close widget somewhere at the top of the window — where Close widgets always reside — can be disorienting.
While I totally agree that this is something OmniWeb should do, it's exactly the extra kind of feature I can see talking my QC team into marking down from a priority bug to a 'nice-to-have' to be implemented in the future.
About the close, in Omniweb if you have multiple tabs open and you click the standard red close widget it will ask if you want to close just the tab or the whole window.

It’s very nice to be able to grab an address from a browser window’s bar and drop it into another window without having to bring the browser window to the foreground or use the Command key.
