I agree with Lars and raman. Although eww+shr does not currently look
"native" inside Emacs, that's not a big hurdle. The advantage of better
layouts, better widgets across various platforms and text/GUI, and a
common language are significant. I don't think it's a little project,
unfortunately.

I agree with this too. Performance issues can be resolved; less
dependence on external tools is always a good thing IMHO.
