Whether it's IE, FF3.6 or whomever else, I'll blame them for stifling my creativity and ability to make things work and look good in a timeframe that doesn't make me pull my hair out. Telling us that we're not meant to work in web if we can't handle these things is a weak argument; I expect a bit of pull and tug in any line of work, and I'll gladly do it, but when the time spent troubleshooting for older/inconsistent browsers is so detrimental to a team's ability to meet deadlines time and time again that you have to hire people specifically for it instead of using that money to innovate elsewhere, something's amiss. I can only assume how many developers there are at Yahoo!, no less redundant roles and people that have been debugging these issues for a decade+ and know the problems they'll run into like the back of their hand. Smaller agencies and development teams don't have those people to rely on and they shouldn't have to.
