Gecko, IE, and WebKit all have commercial backing. KHTML, prior

great standards support, but poor real-world compatibility.  I
suppose nobody questions that, its just that the goals are
different. Apparently Nikolaus just wants to build a browser
with great standards support (maybe thats why its named *Simple*
WebKit?). So why bother him? ;-)  The only thing I'm a bit
concerned about is how the two implementations would live side
by side if SimpleWebKit directly implements WebKit classes
instead of using a separate class hierarchy which is then
somehow mapped to the WebKit classes. To bad we don't have
namespaces in ObjC ;-)  How do you know before you have done it?
Can you predict the future? And has the pure number of
developers ever been an indicator for project succes
