The main problem with emacs-w3m is that it depends on the external w3m
program, so it's an additional hassle.

Now that Emacs proper has an HTML parser (via libxml2), an HTML renderer
(via shr.el), and an HTTP library (via url*.el), writing a totally
Emacs-based web browser should be pretty easy for somebody who has some
time to spare.

Which, unfortunately, rules me out, for the time being.  :-)
