I don't think they were commenting about the typo, they were simply pointing out that it isn't weird to prefer using things you know.

Personally I can't agree, since in this case using what you know involves shoe-horning a hacked together and mutated beast into a role it wasn't designed for.

Oh, sorry for misunderstanding that.

It's true what you're saying, JavaScript wasn't designed for this, and chromium is being repurposed for something out of it's scope too. But hopefully it will evolve with time in the right direction, my honest opinion is that it has the potential, mainly due to it's popularity, there's and huge amount of resources and hours people are willing to invest it it.
