This is a quote from the Architecture and Design page on the
developer's site.  But you are extrapolating too much.  Take the quote
in context; it is just a description of the "GNOME Widgets" section on
the site.  It is meant to give an idea of what the widgets in
gnome-libs do.  GtkHTML does not live in gnome-libs and has a much
larger scope than just rendering HTML.  Miguel already pointed out its
nice features that users appreciate.

Sorry.  I thought it sound effects would make things cooler and
flashy.  Let's try that again.

Bzzzt.  Boing.  Kaboom.  Blop blop.  Tweet.  Honk honk.  Chugga chugga.  Squawk.

You are right, it doesn't work.  Sorry again.

Dude, have you *ever* looked at GIMP's crap such as the gradient
editor?  What kind of moron wrote that?  That person should really be
put in a mental institution.

This should give you a clearer view of what GNOME is.
