    Web community should think hard about what it wants *most*; do we want a web that can compete and be relevant in the lives of users? What short-term costs might we bear to get there? And how can we ensure that they're only short-term?https://twitter.com/slightlylate/status/1180782115895566336 …

    Lots of folks seem to accept that engine diversity is *de facto* desirable. It doesn't take much interrogation of this to see the edges. E.g., what if we had a 100 evenly-distributed engines, but half of them never added any new features? Or only features 2/3 of engines have?

        One thing that is not often talked about in the browser diversity topic, is that you are rarely able to use features that are not adopted in ALL browsers. So you’re stuck with the lowest common denominator. I remember the time that you couldn’t use all those cool features bc IE.

        I guess a few competent players that are willing to collaborate somewhat is a better scenario than a sea of browsers going in their very own direction.

        I think one of the issues in this debate is that while some see it as a competition between engines and browsers, others see it as a competition between the web platform and other application platforms. Few other platforms are being criticized for moving too fast.

        You asked for diversity on iOS and giving Blink/Gecko a chance to compete on that platform. Now it rather sounds like you advocate to have one universal engine to make the web compete with other platforms? Do I misinterpret your tweet?
