Is it because of Rust's programming features like Safe,Concurrency,..etc .?
I think Servo will take years & years to shape as an usable rendering
engine.

Now people are more interested to make WebKit parallel by moving Image
Decoding [1], HTML Parser [2][3], to separate threads.

Open Web Standards like WebGL there to design graphics intensive
applications to run inside a browser, WebCL for
heterogeneous<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_computing>
 parallel computing <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_computing>(Still
evolving), Web Workers for JavaScript concurrency, & more.

Now the trend is more towards standardization than replication. What I mean
to say is, "Implementing the standard make the web rendering engine
more rock-solid than re-implementing from scratch". Because of this reason
Opera switched to use existing implementation like WebKit/Blink.

Still Ubuntu Phone is in early stage, choosing the right browser is more
important to swim the _Sea_Of_Web_.

So +1 for WebKit. :)
