I was almost ready to drop Firefox in favor of something WebKit-based but then I've tried Firefox 3 beta 3... and now I'm not so sure. The fact remains: WebKit is still better then Firefox if you don't need XUL but Firefox3 does have XUL and is much better then Firefox 2.

Of course Firefox3 is not yet ready so choice B) look reasonable. If we'll see that Mozilla Foundation will stop doing A) - that's when we should be worried...

I don't really see the advantage of XUL. I mean, firefox3 has a great 
interface, but you could build such an interface based on WebKit as well. 
And as renderingengine, WK is the better one...
