I know it won't but I would love it if they would make Spartan based off Webkit. (Edit: or Gecko or something else with a bit of traction.) Edit 2: I fear that if they start from scratch and put it on every Windows 10 machine it's going to be feature incomplete from the start and force web developer hacks just like IE does now.

I wouldn't. There's already a threat of Webkit's monoculture on the web, we don't need to make it worse. If you'd like to see Spartan based on some already existing free software engine, then go for Gecko; however, another big player on the engine market won't hurt, especially after Opera went Webkit (well, Blink technically, but it's not a big difference yet).

  Good point. As a front end developer I just am still wary of what Microsoft produces as a browser just because IE left such a bad taste in my mouth and I really love what Opera did with it.
