If there were a God then he would somehow make Microsoft license Gecko and put it on their smart phones and tablets instead of IE.
Or, maybe someone will realize that we don't want giant companies like Apple and Google controlling WebKit and have that turn into another Win32 and so they will use Boot2Gecko on their smartphones or whatever.
I mean I really prefer developing for WebKit and it seems like "the best" but I think if Gecko goes away then progress could stagnate, things could start to suck and we will be stuck with basically one thing and just a couple of companies controlling it.
Completely Agree. Gecko needs to remain relevant just for the sake of competition but Mozilla needs to really pick it up and fix Firefox's performance issues and gain traction on mobile devices.
That's where Boot2Gecko comes in. Successful or not, that's the motivation behind the project.
