My suspicion, not first-hand in this case, is not that Webkit is buggy but that it’s a web browser. Browsers are not designed for embedding into applications. They are designed for wrangling a wild west of code, downloaded from untrustable origin, involving at least 3 languages (HTML, CSS, JS), and parsed at runtime.
It just a different use case than what PhoneGap is trying to do.
I don’t think it’s the wrong thing, I am quite attracted to it honestly. But we might be better off thinking of browsers as “web content displayers” than “runtime-programmable application plugin”.
