Re: webkit in konqueror!

Probably the people that are under the impression that the websites supported by KHTML are a true subset of the sites supported by WebKit. In other words, you get all the sites supported by KHTML plus some additional which currently work under WebKit.

I cannot verify or falsify claims about KHTML's and WebKit's compatability since I don't use any of the so-called "Web 2.0" applications and the websites I visit regurarly work well with Konqueror. If I had to hazard a guess I'd say that some distributions shipping KDE will switch to WebKit as soon as they deem it stable hoping to get some compatibility problems people claim to have with KHTML out of the way (and thus easing support). So I doubt that the actual user's choice will play a significant role which of the two engines will be used in the future.

It doesn't also help KHTML's cause that some "other" developers are pushing WebKit hard either via code or by propaganda in the blogosphere.
