No nightlies yet, but you can build Spinneret - the test viewer app
on Win32.

Hopefully we'll get nightlies of Spinneret going soon so that people
can download it, try it out and report bugs.

Speaking strictly as a web site/JavaScript developer, I can tell
you that it is most difficult to develop in Safari's JS
implementation. It does seem to have it's quirks, and they are
difficult to debug for two primary reasons. The JavaScript output
in Safari 1.3 is terrible, and frequently useless. This problem may
have been fixed in later versions of Safari/WebKit, however, that
is the second problem. I develop on Windows primarily, and have
limited access to Safari and Mac OS X (like many other JS hackers I
would imagine).
My suggestion - if you want more people to use and become familiar
with the quirks of Web-Kit's JS runtime, port it to Windows. Then
it can be tested more easily by people using that platform - even
if it's ugly. It took me a long time to get familiar and
comfortable with Mozilla's quirks (yes it has them too), but I was
only able to do so, because it runs on my preferred platform
(Windows). This would also help me create test cases for bugs that
I know exist in Safari, but can't find both the time and the access
to a recent enough Mac OS X machine to create.
BTW, if there is some way to test sites out in Web-Kit on Windows -
even if that means VMWare running Linux, I'd be willing to give it
a try.
Thanks,
Kevin N.

I've seen several blog posts recently (eg:
http://rentzsch.com/code/dashcodeForAjaxAppDevelopment) that boldly
state WebKit's "ajax support" is vastly inferior to FireFox. All of
them have been very vague and haven't specified exactly where WebKit
is lacking, so I thought I'd ask you guys: Is WebKit inferior, or is
it just because FF is cross platform/has more users, and the
companies
are focusing on FF first, and other engines later?
If these claims are unfounded, lets chop them off at the head.
