To jump on the bandwagon:

	I am going to forgo my usual request for web-developer related 
things... I am just going to point at FireFox. With the web developer 
extension installed the only thin they lack is live editing of html.

	But I do have a frustration: I use the google shortcut all the time 
and find that I often spell it "googel". Eventually I get around to 
adding a "googel" shortcut on each machine I use, but before I wind up 
doing that, and when I mis-type it in any other way OmniWeb's behavior 
is really annoying. Rather than telling me that I typed something 
unintelligible and leaving it in the address bar for me to correct it 
completely erases what I typed and reverts it back to whatever the 
former contents were.
	This also happens when I click onto another window to lookup (or 
copy-paste) something that I need from another window. If the other 
window is in any other app I am fine, but if it is another OW window, 
then everything I typed is gone.
	A really cool method of solving this would be something that would try 
and match the keyword to something in my shortcuts, but that could get 
tough to get the UI right. A easier solution would be to just leave my 
mis-type in the address bar so that I can correct it.
