I like Bugzilla for the very reason I can look, comment and in general
manage bugs with decency without needing client software beside a
webbrowser, and I'm rarely without a webbrowser, heck, I had one at hand
even while I was hospitalised (not in the ICU though, that was boring).
Anything that requires me an extra software is something that I'm more
likely _not_ going to use.

Uh, I do, as I tend to report a lot of bugs and I don't want to have to
use the find command of my browser to see where the heck should I report
it. Don't even get me started on template bugs that I use to mass-report
problems.

And probably most users would find the huge and long product
list to choose from most likely confusing. Users can't get it right
already with the short list we have, reporting bugs on Bugzilla product
which have nothing to do with Bugzilla...
