I wouldn't go as far as calling it an "IE", because those of us who lived through that know it was a completely different experience.

But yes, Safari is slow in implementing new features a bit and it does get annoying from time to time. But it's nowhere near the IE hell from ~2000 - 2008.

It totally is. I used to write custom CSS for IE to make drop shadows work (it didn't support the standard syntax). Now I write custom CSS for Safari to make drop shadows work (there's a bug where if you remove the node, its shadow sometimes stays behind).
And? Single data point.
Everyone else in the world writing CSS has to jump through the same hoops they are referring to... does that really fall under "single data point"?
