I have lived through those awful IE6 times and imho Safari is the new PITA of web development. Nowadays you don't have to create workarounds for CSS problems or same JS incompatibilities, Safari sucks at implementing even the most basic HTML5 APIs.

It is like with CSS 10 years ago. This nice new CSS feature (HTML5 API) which would perfectly solve your problem? Sorry you can't use it because IE (Safari) does not support it (maybe never will).

Would you care to give some examples?

The last time this played out on HN, the list of unsupported things was not HTML5, and many were unfinished/unstable, or listed as in-progress by the WebKit team.

But you are correct, not all of those are HTML5 APIs.
