I began typing a lengthy reply without looking closely into what SimpleWebKit really is. While skimming over the source tree of GNUstep, I was for some reason under the impression that it was a wrapper around WebKit.
Now I see it's a simple implementation of a rendering engine. Quite an interesting undertaking! However, perhaps a name change would be in order to avoid confusing people about what the purpose really is. Also, on-topic, Berkellium can be used to render stuff into RGB arrays, so it might be used as a basis for a "real" engine. It uses Chromium internally, so it could probably be used to render stuff in GNUstep views. http://berkelium.org/ Can you say a few words about Mozilla's decisions? Personally, I prefer WebKit-based browsers due to perceived speed (problems fixed only in FF4), due to some problems I discovered when working on some complex CSS voodoo, and due to some problems with standards that I discovered (for example, with sessionStorage, that manifested themselves only on FF - some in FF3.5, and others in FF3.6) .
