Mozilla Project Hurt by Apple's Decision to use KH

Posted by Hemos on from the the-battle-rages-on dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "I Read this article from ZDNet claiming how some of the Mozilla developers were hurt by Apple's decision to use KHTML over Gecko. I can see both their points. Mozilla was made for cross-platform compatibility, and this probably adds to the bloat, however that's not what they were looking for. They wanted small and fast."

  1. Consider the source: Ziff Davis by Spoing · · Score: 2, Troll
    Regaurdless of the personal feelings of Mozilla developers, ZD is known for this kind of sensationalistic and emotion-charged reporting.

    Ziff Davis wants you to jump on this -- and visit thier site. DON'T DO IT!

    That said, Apple and Apple's staff can choose what they wish or what fits the task. If they decide later to use Gecko for something else, ZD will no doubt run a "Apple uses Mozilla -- KDE developers miffed!" or some such garbage.

    The important thing is that open source is becoming more and more important on the user end -- not just on the server side.
