Yes, QuickDraw comes from Classic. It's been around since....well, since System 1.0, I guess.

Firefox uses Quartz-style text smoothing, though (thank goodness!), so as far as I'm concerned it doesn't make much of a difference as far as usability goes. It's not like you can't use standard interface elements with Carbon; they just don't.

Camino is Cocoa-based, but it doesn't have a lot of features, and it doesn't have an extension system like Firefox. I suppose it would be just as easy to create add-ons for Camino as it is for Safari, but for some reason there are none.
