It was a sad day when Opera dropped presto.

We wanted HTML as complex as Adobe Flash. When we got it, the standard became so complex no way smaller players that didn't dedicate massive resources to keeping up could possibly keep up.

There was just no way to keep presto up to date with the ever evolving web without a massive new source of income for Opera.
