Stupid Hacks
Second gripe for the day: Stupid CSS workarounds and hacks to placate IE5.x and Opera. Why is it that this kind of bloated workaround is being floated around the internet? Sure, it's pretty clever, but ultimately a waste of time. The web is supposed to be a paradigm of “survival of the fittest”—not this half-assed “let's be kind to Opera” crap. If your browser can't handle today's web pages, then you should switch to something that does. Who cares about all the extra doodads when it can't render pages properly?
