I've found the French I studied to have more consistent grammar and spelling, and less variation in idioms. Its achilles heel for technical stuff seems to be vocabulary, in that new nouns and verbs don't get created, and the Canadian and French maintainers seem averse to loanwords.

I too have gotten used to firing up the developer tools and removing position:fixed. The second-most common thing I have to do is set restricted column widths. I get linked to pages that use a print stylesheet, a lot of the time, and just as I restrict the line length in my text editor, I don't want to deal with that in the browser.

I've not experienced it personally, but I'm told that French grammar gets pretty gnarly after you get past the simpler stuff.
