I have tried both 6.0 (which I promptly took off my machine) and more recently 6.1, along with the newly released Internet Explorer 6.0.
All things considered, I like NS 6.1 except for a couple of small things. It downloads all the objects before starting to render the page. If you know where you are going, this slows you down. In IE it will start to render the text and then download the graphics. you can fly though some of the pages without download all the images.
As for other features, NS does support inline frames (YEAH!) but I don't like its Java support. Sure, it uses the Sun engine rather than the proprietary one from Microsoft, but just because its proprietary doesn't mean its not also better.
All in all, thumbs up on NS 6.1.
