Developing a moderately complicated plugins on Firefox and Chrome is a major PITA currently (not to mention that JavaScript is... somewhat moderately PITA to deal with as well).

I just wish that these vendors behind web browsers would put more effort on cleaning up their acts on the plugins development as well (stable and useful docs, tutorials, more tutorials, and mooooreee tutorials, sane development environment without jumping through hoops, better integration with IDEs and whatnot), not just building infrastructure upon infrastructure in which the development and deployment to the said infrastructure is PITA.
