Apple in integrating WebCore in OmniWeb.
I doubt they had any kind of secret help. Omni has a long history of
figuring out how to optimally do very hard things with little to no
documentation.
They are a incredibly smart bunch of people-- it would come as no
surprise to me to hear that they simply [ha! nothing simple about it]
figured it out on their own.
I'm really looking forward to a WebCore enabled OmniWeb. OW is an
absolutely amazing piece of engineering -- it just suffers from trying
to shove a square peg [web content rendering] into a round hole [the
Cocoa APIs]. It is amazing that OW works as well as it does today and
unfortunate that it just doesn't compare to Camino or Gecko on the
rendering front, because the rest of OW runs circles around any other
browser on the platform (though Safari has some very nice
simplifications / features).

I have read several articles about web-browser on OSX. Everybody
mentions IE, Netscape, Chimera/Camino, some people mention Opera, and
lately of course everybody talks about Safari.
But only very rarely OmniWeb gets mentioned.
Why?
I use OmniWeb and am totally satisfied - but I have no experience with
other browsers (except Safari).
