An anonymous reader writes "It's not everyday that we get to hear about the potential downsides of using WebKit, but that's just what has happened as Dave Methvin, president of the jQuery foundation and a member of the core programming team that builds the widely used Web programming tool, lamented in a blog post yesterday. While most are happy to cheer for IE's demise, perhaps having three main browser engines is still a good thing. For those that work in the space, does the story ring true? Are we perhaps swearing at the wrong browser when implementing 'workarounds' for Firefox or IE?"

This is FUD. Apple software is head and shoulders above all other forms of software. Apple fucking INVENTED the web browser in its modern form and you people have done nothing but criticize and attack in your usual flagrant anti-Apple way. Pathetic.

Of course, you're free to go on some religious or idealogical crusade in your spare time if you like, but getting emotional about a browser doesn't make much sense.
You should use a better browser. It would have pointed out that spelling mistake for you, and even suggested the correct spelling. ;-)
