I havn't tried Netscape 7 yet, but Opera 7.x is vastly superior to Netscape 6.x IMO.

Opera does not support ActiveX controls (they view them as a security issue) so
you can't access sites that use them.

My favorite feature of Opera is its ZOOM feature.
It zooms everything (graphics/text/buttons etc)
and still looks good zoomed.It is a variable zoom
and is not limited to set incraments like IE & Netscape.

I have found only a few sites that I goto that are unusable in Opera.  
These I access via IE6.

I have found Opera 7.x speed to be just under IE6 and way faster then Netscape 6.x.  
Can't compare with Netscape 7 as I have not downloaded it yet.

Ok, I have downloaded/installed/tested NS 7.

1. It is not faster then Opera 7.x.

2. As you can see, smilies work! (using for this message)

3. Zoom SUCKS, only zooms text and mangles the header of Amiga.org, zoom incramenst with Ctrl++/- are to large.

4. Still better than IE5/6
