I'd like to know how much Tauri is driving interest in Servo. I was ecstatic to see that Servo is using Tauri as a "test client" of sorts.

The plan is to see how viable Servo is as an alternative to WebView. If it works well I expect Tauri to provide an option to use Servo when building the app.
Which leads me to wonder, what would be the reason for doing that rather than just using the system WebView?
I'm currently suffering the pains of developing a Tauri app that relies on the system WebView (which is the default for Tauri). It's unreliable (especially on Windows where people love to mess around and run "debloat" scripts), and causes slight differences on each platform. Tauri lets you bundle the WebView, but this causes the installer to grow like 150 MB. I presume this alternative would be a lot smaller.

You won't have to worry about different engines and their edge cases. But at that point we are back to electron, but in rust.

I thought not much: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/579
That issue is four years old. Here is a discussion from last month: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/discussions/8524#discuss... . The two teams are apparently working together.
