Well, it's more a pragmatic thing for me: "how much can I improve my
own browsing experience without doing too much effort".
I just don't have the time, nor the skills to work on a new (or the
netsurf) rendering engine. But yet, I find that uzbl is well on it's
way to dramatically improve my browsing experience (of course it can
always be better, but like we do it now I think we have a good
compromise).
