I'm delivering browser-only apps to clients, and I want to write HTML5/CSS3 code, for the best performance and highest fidelity, (and 'cause it's the most fun to write!) but have wedges in place to detect when new features aren't available and graceful degradation to features the browser can support. Every browser is different, and I test on FireFox, Chromium, and IE, on Linux, Windows and Android. It's a lot of work. Back in the Fox days, we just had to worry about screen resolution! And before that, EGA/VGA and ISCOLOR().
