Excellent. I was sad when Opera decided to use the Chrome engine, sadder still when Microsoft ditched the great engine behind Edge (yeah, yeah, hate as much as you like: IE stayed rubbish because Microsoft had to guarantee legacy compatibility for enterprise users -- but Edge never had that restriction; now Edge is just another Chrome).
We need competition to stop another "IE6" from happening -- anyone here remember having to write nasty css and js hacks to get perfectly good sites to work in IE6? I do. When one company owns the roadmap, that's what we get. Mozilla has been fighting the good fight, but it's great to have someone else in the ring!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed. If those figures are true, Flow might become another Chrome in the sense of being used as a default browser. Also I hope adding more features to the engine along the way doesn't diminish them.
Excuses weren't needed for Chrome and V8, it just simply worked. Finally, after 20 years of IE pain, were all better off that it's architecture saw the light.

Also IE4, IE5 and their minor versions. It was a huge relief to finally have IE actively declared obsolete by Microsoft.
yeah, unfortunately, 6 months down the line, Flow still looks like vaporware :/
