Either 1: you haven't actually tried it, 2: you've gotten your (mis)
information from a source who falls under one of these categories, or 3:
you previously worked with one of their coding teams in an effort to port
it to a different OS, and were subsequently cut-off for failure of
progress (reported by slashdot.org). Reason 3 would explain your apparent
grudge against Opera.
Many technology and media organizations have reported on the speed of
Opera compared to the other browsers. C|Net, who BTW gave them the 'Best
Internet Software' award, calls Opera "blindingly fast, and a refreshing
alternative" -- an URL for their article appears below.

Regarding your claims of it being "buggy," don't use a beta release.
No, I don't work for Opera Software.
