No rendering engine is 100% with CSS3 and HTML5 and that's what they're all gearing towards so I don't really care if it's WebKIt, Blink, or Gecko. Also, while a lot of browsers may use WebKit, they don't all neccesarily use the same version so you're in the boat of X being compatible with one browser, but not the other, anyway.

Also, I am a Web Dev.

Microsoft wants a monoculture (with Trident) and that's bad.
Microsoft avoids a monoculture (by not using Webkit) and that's bad too

I really pity the Spartan developers. To people like you, there is literally nothing they can do 'right'.

"Change for the sake of it" is just a hand-wavy way of saying "change I don't like".

That's Apple's move.

Latest version is 10.10.1. they seem rather reluctant to go to 11.

I think AC is saying Mozilla is making Firefox work for the majority of its users which may not include you.

So as GNOME behaves in an antisocial manner that entitles Groupon to use their Trademark?

They'd probably be fine with that. Those kind of users are self-entitled whiners who believe people should work on Firefox completely for free because gimme. Also that work is always wrong because it's either a change and change is bad, or it's no change and that's also bad because then they're clearly just wasting their time.
