I'm not sure that applies to the rest of the codebase.
I think WebKit is better, but I am no expert. I have seen extensive technical discussions on public mailing lists. I have gotten good and detailed responses on the public bug tracker. I've also benefitted from information posted on bug reports reported by other people. And the GTK guys have done a great job at catering to our immediate needs. There are other factors too. Chromium bundles a load of libraries, rather than using systemwide ones, which is not really the model that we expect on the open source desktop. I think this is the main reason why it is not in Fedora (Fedora has a guideline against that, and packaging Chromium is no easy task as a result). WebKit is much better there, and in being in general a good "open source desktop friendly" solution.
