> I don't think you'll find anything in that bug list that's even close to the severity of a missing feature that's supported in every other browser as far back as IE8.

Yes, you will. Take the border-collapse bug I mentioned: it doesn't affect other engines, to my knowledge. Border-collapse goes back to, like, IE5.

That's not even in the same league as either of the Firefox issues I've referenced. The first is actually app-breaking (in our case users couldn't see any of the select options) the second is just plain IE-level of stubbornness. I'm not saying Chrome is perfectly immaculate, just trying to explain why it's so popular among the dev community in a way FF/IE are not.
