I think, that vendor prefixes prevents us from getting into incompatibility nightmare. If they were dropped for less stable css properties, web developers would start using css hacks again. Because newer css properties don't have consistent behavior across browsers (border-radius don't work properly with border-style in firefox), and experimental properties can even have different syntax (for example css gradients in safari and firefox).
