I remember being the only person I knew who used Firefox in the early 2000s and when I mentioned "standards based css" and got eye rolls and blank stares. It sucked, and it seemed like nothing would get better. It was a death spiral, nobody thought it was worth it to bother testing in Firefox, so IE's share kept growing, etc.
It's crazy, but the web did recover from that horrible corner even though it didn't seem possible. There's no guarantee it will come back again, but it's possible if people keep pushing for it.
