- Tabs will take getting used to I really like graphical, side-tabs. For example, the window I have open now has 25 tabs. Sure I've got a 24" LCD spanned next to a 22" CRT, but I don't browse that wide and that's basically what I'd need to be able to distinguish that many text, top-tabs in Safari, Firefox... They're much easier to recognize - they're graphical after all. If a text interface was so much better than grahipcal, we'd all be using the command line in OS X.
I paid $30 for mine. There was a price drop a few months back. Anyway, the features far surpass any other browser. Site Prefs alone probably save me $30 a day in time. I can always make more money, but I cannot make more time. Workspaces, saved states... also save me time. With a touch of a button I can bring up all the pages that relate to a client's site (admin login, server info, their site, logs, stats...)
Sure there's Add-ons for FF which do similar things. For example, AdBlock. But the adblocking in OW is much better, IMHO. It's much easier to configure and much more bullet proof.
Plus you get a company that adheres closely to the Apple HIG. It's a very Mac-like browser, as opposed to Firefox.

- Is there live spell checking like Camino?As mentioned, yes. As with other cocoa apps, you can hover over a word and hit command+control+d and get a dictionary pop-up too.
- It costs $15
If you're an OmniWeb owner please tell me why it's worth $15 to you.
