Everyone seems to be blaming the "bad" (relatively, I personally don't believe that) performance of FF on Gecko. But is that the case? Isn't it mostly because of many websites relying heavily on JS while V8 is much faster than SpiderMonkey? I have been following Phoronix benchmarks for years and where Chrome shines seems to always be on JS benchmarks.
Given that Gecko is probably not the bottleneck, I would consider the decision of halting the project not a bad one. Servo delivered tons of amazing things already, it is a clear success. Maybe Mozilla should consider using V8? After all, losing SpiderMonkey might not be that bad, there is enough "competitors".
