I wouldn't consider Servo to be "quite good", at least in its present state.

The Browser.html UI is quite minimal, in the sense that it really doesn't do much at all. It's basically a list of tabs along the right side. I also find it quite laggy, and sometimes it locks up completely. I'm not sure why you think people should be impressed with it.

As for Servo itself, there are noticeable rendering problems with pretty much every web site I've ever tried with it. Even the servo.org home page had rendering glitches when I last tried it several days ago! The scrolling is very broken under macOS. I've also had it crash now and then.

Maybe it will get better in the future. But at this time I'd consider Servo to be pre-alpha quality software. Trying to impress people with it would probably do more harm than good. They'll likely encounter problems with it right away, and it won't leave a good impression on them.
