People say Safari is terrible because Safari is the last to support useful web features. They only just added support for a non-royalty-encumbered video format. If you are not directly affected by these issues in your own applications, that's fine, but if you care about the web platform in general, it's hard to ignore how terrible Safari is.

I can understand (sort of) that thinking, but from my very practical point of view: I care about delivering a working application to my users, who should have a good experience. This is what they pay me for. And Safari delivers the best experience of all modern browsers, without any additional effort on my part (I do not have any Safari-specific workarounds, while I did require fixes for Chrome, and Firefox causes problems regularly).
