Hello. Is there at least one objective reason to use KHTML, not Webkit?
 I think that Webkit is much more better for the following reasons:
 1. More people maintain it. So the development process is several times faster.
 2. Uses less memory and CPU, works better on slow PCs.
 3. It works better with nsplugins (KHTML has many problems with Flash, while WebKit forks with Flash flawessly).
 4. Webkit is much faster with JavaScript (try to run any benchmarks like SunSpider or V8 with qt-webkit from Qt 4.5 and compare it to KHTML).
 5. KHTML has problems with some pages, while I haven't seen any pages, that don't work under WebKit.
 6. Webkit has more points in ACID3 (98/100 in latest trunk for me) => has no problem with supporting standarts.
So it's better to abandon KHTML and finish webkit-kpart

Yes, but I am not interested in rehashing it, and this is no place for this discussion.
