It alienated me. I like Opera 12 very much. But the things I like are missing in 15. Tab-screenshots for example.

And the overall look and feel is just Chrome. So I think people will skip Opera 15 and download Chrome instead. Or they will stick to Opera 12 like I will.

Strange. The new mobile versions doesn't get a lot of positive reviews and now this one. I hope Opera didn't loose track.

regarding "tab-screenshots": Opera calls them visual Tabs. The linked article says "Right now, we are focusing on synchronization (aka Opera Link), enhanced tab management (visual tabs and so on) and support for themes – and these are just a few of the features you can expect to find soon in our next releases!"

these two things (better tab management and synchronization) are what restrain me from updating.

Also the kind of bookmarks "stash" is not searchable in search bar, which is not really handy

They can always get acquired by a big company, if this fails, I guess.
