Programming against specific browsers is like washing your eyes with chilli sauce. Nothing but grief can come of it. And contary to what someone has alleged above, WebKit and Gecko are not 100% compatible either.
I would encourage guys to program against JavaScript frameworks like JQuery or Ext JS where someone else has done the heavy lifting to make code and stylesheets work well across browsers including those you will invariably forget to test on like Opera

Couldn't have put it better Steve,I remember back in the days designing what I thought was a beautiful website only for it to fall apart when testing in IE especially IE6 because of its bugs and very poor compliance to web standards.I learnt the hard way to put hacks in the CSS code because no web designer or developer can ignore the dominance of IE, however buggy it is._______________________________________________
