Do you imagine that it abstracts an underlying GUI framework?
Please tell me, how would an HTML engine render something like a few paragraphs of text flowing around embedded images whatever which way, if it did that over a traditional framework like Qt/Gtk/etc.
That's what i say, minimized webbrowsers are a slight bit less bloaty but still make for bloaty GUI frameworks.
