With the recent surge in WebKit adoption, many have stated to question the usefulness of Mozilla's Gecko browsing engine, claiming that WebKit is far superior. Some even go as far as saying that Firefox should ditch Gecko in favour of WebKit. Ars Technica's Ryan Paul explains why that is utter, utter bogus. "From a technical perspective, Gecko is now very solid and no longer lags behind WebKit. A testament to the rate at which Gecko has been improving is its newfound viability in the mobile space, where it was practically considered a nonstarter not too long ago. Mozilla clearly has the resources, developer expertise, and community support to take Gecko anywhere that WebKit can go."

is it just me or is there a substantial increase on the hate/bitching/whining posts here on OSNews of late? It's like someone has cloned kaiwai or something.
There's also some regulars who like to whine in almost all of their posts and do act like they are somehow superior to everyone else.. *cough* Kaiwai *cough* It's just unfortunate that whining usually consists 70%-90% of all posts and the more interesting and/or insightful posts have to be deliberately hunted down.
If you've been lurking around here for a longer time then you should already know that constant whining and flamewars are the norm here
Still, OSnews flamefests are sometimes such an interesting drama that it's like watching a trainwreck: too horrible to turn away
