That Apple is creating a browser based on KHTML can only be a good thing for linux, regardless of one's opinion of KDE, or even Konqueror. How long will it be before someone creates a linux browser-only project based on KHTML in much the same vein as Galeon, or Phoenix does with Gecko?

Konq-fan or not, anything that drags developers out of their little "It's
an IE world afterall" chorus is a good thing for us. The browser is using
the KHTML engine, which (having run both KDE2.2.1 and KDE3 quite a bit)
has improved a good deal over the last year or so. What that means is
that KHTML will have a lot more pressure to be good and trim. Standards-compliance is a key point for the Mac team and they've pushed
back quite a bit to the KHTML team to fix non-compliant items. Konqueror
in 3.0.3 isn't perfect, but it does a lot of the IE-pages better than
Mozilla or Netscape. Still, there are things I need NS or Moz for. I'm
just happy that they've improved it since the 2.2.1 days (which is what
I'm using on this machine).

Interesting. No way do I want to return to Windows, er KDE but it would be nice it a browser like that would be available for Linux. I guess I could check and see what merging Konq would drag in to run under xfce.
