Don't you think you underestimate the amount of work that went into Webkit development? Or are you claiming that it is really minor compared to everything else

Don't you think you underestimate the amount of work that went into Webkit development? Or are you claiming that it is really minor compared to everything else in Chrome? Because only then claim "we made everything from scratch" makes sense. I really fail to see how pointing that one of the main components was not developed by Google from scratch counts as "making up crap".

You fail to understand my comment. I was commenting on people claiming that the non-WebKit parts of Chrome are (effectively) boilerplate. The difference between claiming that Chrome is 95% WebKit, 5% Google code and a reality of (probably something like) 70% WebKit, 30% Google code is meaningful. Maybe not meaningful when talking about 'everything from scratch,' but let's not lower ourselves by resorting to overstatements just because it makes us feel better when we are ranting against something, no?
