IE is complete crap because someone working with it dreams up a new feature?
Um. Javascript Style Sheets anyone?
And how many features are commonplace today because someone dreamed up a really good idea that start out as proprietary software and was happily adopted by all? If everyone stuck rigidly to standards, we wouldn't have half the features we use today.
Web development innovations can be like powertools - Incredibly useful, but capable of incredible harm too. Who do blame? The tool maker or the fool who miss-uses the tool? Even W3C standardized features can be used to ugly effect too.
