To me it is personally annoying because so many people and esp developers seems to want Chrome to become the new IE: a subpar (yeah, until google give you nested vertical tabs ;-) browser that web developers have fallen in love with to the point where they forget anything else.

Anything that reinforces this automatically qualifies as bad (and I'm only partially joking here ;-)

This is exactly it! People are now making chrome apps instead of web apps.

How many times have you been to a webapp and it said "Your browser is not supported, for best results please use Google Chrome."
