>WebKit is a giant open source project that is relied upon by many many different companies...Google takes their ball and goes home and only works on their own platforms.

Blink is open source, it's simply a fork of WebKit. That's why Opera is intending to use it instead of WebKit2. It's like Google wanted to take their ball to another court and still let everyone play.

I love the answers to this question.

If you need to build a quick site and add functionality rapidly, WordPress and the proper plugins are an excellent solution. Alternatively, if your goal is to build a complex site that's geared toward a single purpose. It's probably not the right tool.

The decision should be based on the application not ego.

I have a feeling that WordPress will begin to pull (even more) heavily skilled developers if they move to a structured SVN system like this.
