You could have said the same thing about unix-like operating systems in 1991 - yet, somebody wrote one from scratch without a full-time team.

I'm not trying to put this little project here down, far from it. I think it's pretty neat. I can imagine even neater (if that's a word) things, though... :-)

IMO modern web browser internals are more complex and less fun to work on than 1991-era Unix clones.

I'm not being defensive of this project, I'm being critical of the direction web architecture is going.

Err, at 1991 he just wrote a rudimentary OS from scratch. To make it more unix-like, stable and feature full took hundreds of people, including tens of full time company employees (IBM, RedHat, etc).
