Rewrite whizzy code for one percent of browsers?  No thanks.

CSS support for starters.  It's a lot better than it used to be, but having
had to fix sites so they work reasonably well on Opera, it's still not good.
Don't get me wrong, I love the *idea* of Opera - just the implementation
isn't great.  Yet.  I'm sure it will be.  Prop. tags were what did for
Netscape - not Microsoft's evil business practices.

The day all browsers support the same stuff is the day I'll be happy.  Or,
the day we all use one browser.

However, fat, ugly, bald Java developers will tell you that none of this
matters and they can do your job better than you can.

Netscape I believe, I'd be surprised about IE though.  (Are you running a
Windows system?)
