Michael McCracken has posted 
a follow up clarification about his nifty little WebKit browser for Gmail.
He wants to correct some misconceptions, not least:
I didn’t say anything about disliking or replacing Apple Mail. Mail is my primary mail client, and there’s plenty about it that I like. I just use both, since I like GMail better for viewing mailing lists.
He also says that he has no great plans to develop the app further, although he gives his blessing to anyone else who wants to and lets him know.
And he takes pain to point out that the credit belongs to the Apple Web Kit Development team.
(On a pedantic note, I see from comparing his original post with this one, that the browser is built with the WebKit demo from the Web Kit development team. I am still confused about this, despite John Gruber’s post on the differences and Daniel Jalkut’s patient further explanation ).

I went with two spellings of WebKit because of Daniel’s argument – it seemed like the demo was a demo of WebKit.framework, while the team works on the Web Kit (which includes their good documentation, for example).
Thanks. I think I undestand.
