Normally my friend, I would agree with you.
But with 90 tabs open, 25% of them with heavy JS and the system still stable, Chrome itself very responsive, no mis-rendering of sites so far, flawless import of bookmarks and settings, bookmarklets working out of the box, etc.... I think this one is worth the hype.
To think what Safari or Firefox would be like under such a load, not to mention how it would bring the rest of the OS down with it.....
