I'm sorry but personally I wouldn't consider Netsurf or Links. Firefox port
is of course a huge and appreciated effort, but what I see and what I
was referring
about is the effort of Ryan (an official Haiku dev) and Maxime in developing
one official Haiku browser.

Same as above. Stephan, David and (maybe) others are working hard in order
to have THE (official) media player for Haiku.

Did I state the opposite somewhere? :-)
I agree with you. We can not control third-part development.
My point is: haiku dev team could guide the development of an official
Haiku IDE,
by doing the design and inviting other IDE dev to join the process.
It's only my idea of course.
