Really? WKWebView has like ¼ the API surface area of WebView. It’s abundantly obvious that it provides significantly less functionality — surely Apple doesn’t need developers to tell it that. I realize that WKWebView is more secure, and it's a step up from UIWebView, but it is in no way a replacement for WebView. It’s like Garage Band vs Final Cut Pro.
(Speaking of apps, this reminds me uncomfortably of what Apple’s done to the iWork apps (and before that, to iMovie and Aperture) — update them by removing massive amounts of functionality. Two years later I still can’t use the latest version of Pages, because it’s missing independent left/right-page margin settings.)
