True, they all do. This is a result of W3C moving so slowly to standardize things that are pretty important to designers. But you can't compare Microsofts lack of compatibility to anyone else. Microsoft is famous for completely butchering design elements. Arial?! Seriously? What's wrong with Helvetica?
In the end, IE has been holding back web developers for years and it continues to do so. It's absolutely retarded that we have to build a site and fix it for 7 or so different browsers. Imagine a world where all browsers are built on the same engine (I personally like Webkit), and they all follow the exact same standards. You do your job once, not 8 times.
We're almost there, sorta? The only browser that I ever need to alter specifically is IE. 6, 7, and although it's rare 8 too. Granted, there's still the different engines (Gecko / Webkit), but I would say 99% of the time they all work great.. other than IE.
