I use Seamonkey at work and my coworkers make fun of me whenever I have to screenshare. I originally switched because some years ago, Chrome was being a memory hog, and I remembered using Seamonkey years before that.
I still use it every day, and was recently wondering when the next update would happen. Thanks to all the devs out there fighting the good fight!

Same for me a loooong time ago, when I found out that running Seamonkey Web browser and e-mail client together used less memory than either of Firefox or Thunderbird alone.
After a few years I stopped using it for e-mail, because I had troubles with several specific versions crashing too often, and having all one's eggs in the same basket is not a good idea when one of the eggs rots the others (i.e. a browser crash killing the e-mail client and vice-versa).
My parents are still using it for both Web and email, one on Linux, the other on Windows. It is more stable these days.

OMG. I could have written this very comment. The chortles and sneers I get are numerous.
One other reason to use SeaMonkey is it works the best with the -D (socks5) feature of ssh, even better than Firefox's implementation. If you have to traverse into networks via SSH and browse, SeaMonkey is your best friend.
