It's important to Always Be Testing as a web dev.
There are thousands of different device-configuration-user possibilities, and for each one you get working, several more you'll never know about will also have an easier time of using your site.
It gets kind of addicting, to be honest. The more browsers I try, the better I get at fixing various compatibility issues and removing all but the absolutely necessary from my pages.
I started out with a pretty minimal design and featureset to begin with, but I've been able to actually expand my compatibility matrix while also adding new features by coding minimally and using "historic" LCD JS for most things.
It's shown me that a) each browser has its beauty and unique features and feel b) most browsers are totally valid access devices and I would like to support them all c) we're at risk of losing all the knowledge of how to build a decent website, and I'd like to preserve that knowledge.
