Out of curiosity, why would you have a strong preference for one of the two over the other? Both are open source and very fast, http://www.arewefastyet.com/#machine=12&view=breakdown&suite=v8real http://www.arewefastyet.com/#machine=12&view=breakdown&#... each beats the other on some benchmarks. Is there another reason for your preference?

I personally have no stake in this, I am just observing from an outside perspective so I cannot really say why some groups whose webkit + V8 over JSC, you would really have to ask them. I am guessing there are probably non-technical points (eas of commit access, architecture, roadmap etc)
