I like semagic for the keyboard shortcuts. Being able to copy a link to the clipboard, select some text, and hitting ctrl-alt-l to turn it into a link, or selecting matgb and typing ctrl-alt-u to convert it into a username link, etc.
We think inset is a bad russian translation of insert, basically highlight and do something—I have a little blue bar at the top of my screen, if there's a cursor in a text area and I move the mouse to the top it'll pop down with all my insets, or I can right click 'em.
Because they're easily fully programmable, you can do things like footnote references as well as basic stuff like insert link, etc. But that's for addons, not DS.
DS will do username inserts, but for links I either right click/send to DS after highlighting, so it gives me a link preformatted with the page title and the text in a blockquote, or I use Copy as HTML link saving a process anyway—I keep meaning to write up all my favourite blogging plugins in one post, but, well, I haven't posted for a week...
If you've got it installed, highlight/right click to see the menu, or highlight then move your mouse to the top of the browser window below the tab bar, there's a little blue bar.
To edit them, right click on the stuff in the statusbar, settings, then you want the little cross, the rest is self explanatory, I completely reprogrammed all of mine (hence the number of footnotes and stuff I put in posts, all done by insets)
Ah—insets are for ljaddons, not Deepest Sender—the flexibility and ability to make new insets for addons is what's brought me back to using the web window—it can be set to be usable on any website textarea as well, so I've got BBcode and stuff in there too...

Does Deepest Sender do that?
