If only every browser implemented it...but IE 7,8,9 are stuck on the old APIs. They're a large percentage of all users.

Depends on your demographic. 20% of our site visitors use IE8 :-(.
The real question is whether you want to invest the time needed to create a fallback for those users. Websites that use the new CSS things as a primary thing (like this presentation) won't work, but sites where the newfangled CSS things are used just as embellishment - dropdowns, sliding menus, spinners, you name it - will remain functional, just not as pretty.

tl;dr graceful degradation / enhancement.

It says css 3d, which those browsers doesn't support.
