Some times the differences between browsers without hacks is huge! We tend to stick with the old "_" hack (IE only style). But the future does concern me.

For example, a complicated CSS-based menu may be more prone to looking a lot different in various browsers than a simple menu. I don't like it when designers feel they need to get every pixel correct. Live with your site being different in various media (Phones/PDAs/Monitor?Print etc) and various browsers within those media.

While my site may make use of certain features not supported in browsers like IE, they degrade gracefully and are done without the use of hacks. Doug Bowman said during his recent WE'05 address that we need to get away from CSS hacks altogether. I agree totally.

When designing dynamic sites with flowing content sometimes you can't help but use hacks. I always like my final vision to be the same no matter the browser.

I'm trying to get an insight from the other side of the argument. Why do you not like a degree of difference depending on the browser? Jase,

Never needed them. I've always got around my problems in a different way. (adding one more divisions or something) But I don't optimize my sites for browsers older than IE5.5. That's just crazy. People need to understand to update their software. They need to update their flash-player, or their mediaplayer. So why not their browser?! Actually, i’ve never used hacks. Never needed them.
