the most important thing is to have something that people would use.
right now even most of kde developers are using firefox, because there
are many many sites that with khtml simply won't work.
with webkit one can hope that site creators will test the site on some
variant of it, with khtml we will be always condemned to chase them
and unbreak khtml only after the damage is done.
it's sad, it's unfair, but that's life.
