First of all, I don't think here are any people who work on the rendering 
engine.

Secondly, if A is worse than B and B is pretty good, the result is not 
necessary that A is 
very bad. B is just very good.
Ironically the people who work on QtWebKit agree with me. QtWebKit is mostly 
done by 
Nokia.
Now look at MeeGo, the collaborative Linux distribution project of Nokia and 
Intel.
MeeGo Netbook uses Chrome. And Nokia even allocates work force to port Firefox 
Mobile to 
Qt for MeeGo Handset instead of using a QtWebKit browser.
Since Qt 4.7 QtWebKit is quite good but it's not on par with Chrome, Safari, or 
even 
Firefox 4.
Try visiting 
http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/PsychedelicBrowsing/Default.html
with a QtWebKit browser (rekonq comes to mind), a recent Chromium build 
launched with the 
--enable-accelerated-2d-canvas parameter, and Firefox 4b5. You'll see the 
difference.
In Qt 4.6 QtWebKit wasn't even good enough for Facebook. It printed JavaScript 
errors over 
and over again.
Luckily that changed and QtWebKit is now fine for everyday browsing but 
Chrome's WebKit 
port is better nonetheless and if Chrome's GUI wasn't so incredibly bad, I'd 
even use it.
