It probably helps that WebKit was forked from KDE’s Konqueror/KHTML and that Blink was a fork of WebKit.
Compared to Gecko, I’m sure they behave the same as far as webdevs were concerned - hindering it’s adoption - webdevs don’t want to support esoteric engines for obvious reasons.
webkit and blink are two massively different beasts, webkit and blink is just an engine in the end, the stuff on top matters too. If it was as simple as engines, it would be like comparing gnome web to chromium.
Turns out that owning the platform (Android, iOS) counts for a lot. I like having an independent option.
