There are lots of rumors in internet about ending KHTML support and moving to QtWebKit for konqueror in KDE4, porting Gecko to Qt and integrating it to konqueror and many others. Is there any official page about Konqueror future plans, or just some konqueror developers who can tell their plans about it?
I am asking because i like konqueror, but i can't see any progress in it's development for some time, and interested is it time to change favorite browser or konqueror will be better and better with every KDE release.

Though i am none of the developers, i have another impression:

So as you can see, there seems to be still an active development.

Well, I'm no developer but I have KDE 4.1.2 installed on my main machine and I had what will become 4.2 installed just a few days ago, and I must say that Konqueror in 4.2 is a lot better than the one in 4.1.x, at least as far as speed and that it is not all as crash-prone anymore. When 4.2 is stable, I most likely will ditch Firefox again. I only started to use it more and more because the earlier 4.x versions of Konqueror were pretty much useless.

I'm using Arch KDEmod unstable at the moment and Konqueror still feels a bit sluggish to me. It's faster, but not as fast as Firefox, which is disappointing.

I will agree, though, that it's not as crash-prone.

KHTML guys are working hard to stabilize the khtml part (just take a look in the bug fixing release of kde 4.1.x ). I think the webkit part's developers are not doing very well job in compare to khtml guys.
