Recreating existing desktop GUI frameworks one useless HTML/JS library at a time.

Massively underrated post, honestly.

I wonder what exactly the use of this is, beyond Compiz for web pages. What's next, jiggly divs? :P

moron4hire made a good point about letting devs pick the layout engine, but I am not sure we want to ignore all the nice features browsers give us here.

I don't get why people do this without looking at least once at all the existing open source html rendering implementations.

Also, css shaders.

What is the browser support for CSS shaders? =)

Just chrome and Firefox canary I guess. But webgl is supports by all modern browsers. I can even see nicely rendered page on my windows phone with IE11 mobile installed.
