Really? WKWebView has like ¼ the API surface area of WebView. It’s abundantly 
obvious that it provides significantly less functionality — surely Apple 
doesn’t need developers to tell it that. I realize that WKWebView is more 
secure, and it's a step up from UIWebView, but it is in no way a replacement 
for WebView. It’s like Garage Band vs Final Cut Pro.

(Speaking of apps, this reminds me uncomfortably of what Apple’s done to the 
iWork apps (and before that, to iMovie and Aperture) — update them by removing 
massive amounts of functionality. Two years later I still can’t use the latest 
version of Pages, because it’s missing independent left/right-page margin 
settings.)
