Yes it has and? I mean if we have something that works better why not
pushing it?

That is your point of view, let's wait others.

lol, what gives you this impression? Where have you read this? I think you
have to stop to be paranoiac (Nokia don't control and don't want to control
KDE).

I would rather say that many KDE people are pushing for Webkit, like the
Silk project (No relation at all with Nokia).

Have you been to this discussion in Gran Canaria where Konqueror/KHTML
people were talking about Webkit? There was trolls in that group just to
answer questions and help them with Webkit not to say : "switch to webkit".

This is completely different. It's unfortunate but if Nokia don't fix fast
enough or don't bring features fast enough, they have an open repository
where you can add what you would have done in KDEPrint.
