WKWebView looks easier to use, but extremely limited. I was pretty disappointed 
by the API. It doesn’t look useable for much more than just showing regular web 
pages (as opposed to building hybrid apps that use HTML for part of their 
rendering.) Last I saw, the PhoneGap people were still scratching their heads 
trying to figure out how to use it, since it doesn’t even work with 
NSURLProtocols.

(I’m working on a Mac app that uses WebView for much of its UI, and was hoping 
I could use WKWebView to port it to iOS, but no dice. My app relies heavily on 
manipulating the DOM from Objective-C.)
