>state-of-the-art features
How can you claim to use state-of-the-art features and not appreciate that those features will be more stable and more readily available than ever? And the cool new features being worked on are far, far, far more expansive, neat and "useful" (as you desire) than "css3" or "mobile devices". If you're really doing "state of the art" things, then you're probably using features that were added to Chrome and Gecko as part of one of the features that was enabled by the rapid release cycle with multiple versions and pipelines being worked on simultaneously.
Further, what breaking changes have you seen as a result of Firefox and Chrome's rapid development cycle. I mean, the features I'm discussing break regularly, but then again their specs are still in a very draft status and it's known that they will break. I can't say I've ever had a stable Javascript API or CSS rule just completely change when moving from Firefox 11 to 12 or whatever.
>"Much of the content on those sites doesn't even work on both Gecko and WebKit at the same time, never mind IE."
Honestly a lot of your claims seem to be exaggerated or I'm on a very different subset of the Internet than you.
