Maybe it’s sarcasm? On the other hand, the new school does have it pretty good these days with the evergreen browsers, so it could be genuine lack of perspective. Webkit is stubborn and slow moving, but nothing like what we endured with IE, especially since polyfills were not a ubiquitous concept and checking for feature support at runtime was a kind of dark art. I shudder just thinking about user agent strings again. If anything, my daily dose of strange BS these days comes from imposed third-party SaaS vendors rather than browser interop even when accounting for older versions of Safari.
