Actually there was only one better thing with NN4 compared to MSIE4 and that was the security involved and the fact that there are much fewer exploits compared with MSIE. However this is also probably because NN4 released their browser before w3c produced a document on HTML version 4 standards.
MSIE 5/6 (and outlook, outlook express) also still have a lot of security bugs currently, one of the most deadly was with Outlook\outlook express where an email message could download and run a program without any user input at all.
