Well, I am an Opera fan, too.

I use IE at the office because I have no choice, but I use Opera at home, and have not regretted the expense.

A couple of things I like and use a lot:

Zoom feature. Can make a page much bigger or smaller; really helpful with pictures. Also with text; less strain on the eyes.

Can set a page to reload automatically at an interval of my choosing. This is helpful for sports or Drudge.

If I close out accidentally, or if it crashes (rare), all the windows that were open reopen when I relaunch.

Can turn off all pop-ups -- it works!

There are other reasons too, I'm sure. I set a lot of preferences when I first started using it that I don't recall, but was pleased at the time to see such options.

One more that I just remembered -- I listen to streaming audio -- many times the audio feed doesn't go to Media Player or Real Player, but opens its own IE window. Often on IE when I click a link, it decides to put that page in the audio window -- bye bye audio. Not a problem with Opera.
