Not caring about ideology is what got us into the IE6 mess in the first place.

  I disagree. Not caring about ideology over technology is what got us Chrome. The Embrace, Extend, Extinguish destructive MS ideology is what got us into the IE6 mess.

    You know what got you Chrome? WebKit. WebKit started as KHTML which was developed by an ideological group named KDE.

      KDE, an ideological group? Really? I've found KDE people to be very pragmatic, not ideological. KDE's history and their choice of Qt also supports that, remember that FSF (there's an ideological group for ya) rejected KDE for some time, and creted Gnome to compete with it purely for ideological reasons. KDE in comparison was created because the founder felt the need for a good desktop environment for unixy systems.

      Webkit was a substandard web rendering platform until Apple and Google invested a lot of man-hours in it.
