Of course, I use it, too. ;)
It's ready for me, not sure it's ready for my wife.

From rekonq POV, if we'll implement all points for 0.5 release (a new and 
improved urlbar, adblock auto-updates && config dialog review the most 
important steps) we are near to be ready.
At least for a first presentation to a wider audience.

The most important thing is anyway not rekonq directly dependant. 
kdewebkit is just to its first release and a lot of work has to be done there. 
But the most important thing is QtWebkit: we'll fly if it will fly.
