Safari Breaking Records

It seems that Apple’s new browser, Safari, is breaking download records for Apple. Phil Schiller said that 20% of all of Apple’s downloads yesterday were Safari (translates to 300,000+ downloads in 24 hours).
I have to admit, I’ve been using Safari exclusively since yesterday and the ONLY thing I miss is tabbed browsing. I’ve figured out the way Safari handles bookmarks, and it IS pretty easy to use and understand. I didn’t understand how it worked yesterday when I commented on how difficult it was to organize bookmarks.
I’ve been reading a few posts from other blogs about how it doesn’t display pages correctly, but I haven’t had one problem with messed up rendering. Moveable Type users can’t use it because it displays their new entry form all messed up. I have no problems with pMachine. Safari DOES have a few hiccups with some advanced CSS, but the sites that use it aren’t very common. All in all, Safari is an excellent browser for being a beta version.
