What can browsers. HTML5 | CSS3 is not a reality, but dreams

I, like you, probably read a lot about new technologies of web development. Someone even plays in the sandbox with cool new features. Publishes articles such as "how to make IE work with SVG."
Youtube goes partially to HTML5, and which beauties draw CSS3 apologists as examples of new features. I also read it all with my mouth open, look at samples and dream of how it all will fit in some of my (or customized) project, and how it will become pioneering and innovative, and everyone will talk about it ...

All this is not true, comrades ...


I want to think that the future is already here or at least near. Summary tables, as always, return to the ground.

Here pimps:

HTML5, CSS3, SVG, Canvas - native support.

The leader is chrome with 89%. But even though IE made the hellish jump almost doubled from version 7 - but this is 13 (!!!!) percent of support.

Same with JS crutches
... and even with crutches, the eight of the IE supports only half of the options ... Chrome is again at the top with 91%. Honor and praise to him, of course ... Come on, why is there holivary to plant - you understand everything.

We look into the future - the forecast of native support of the same set
The ninth IE in the forecast will give 42% support for all the same without crutches. FF will make a big one, and Safari will make a small jerk and they will equal chrome, which pleases, but exactly three minutes. This is the forecast for the end of 2010-beginning of 2011. Given the pace of release of IE - and how can they calmly announce, and then come up with something of their own, chop off support - will we really get at least 40% in the nine? Not sure…
The rest of the browsers in the new versions almost never go anywhere, which means that either there are serious doubts about the prospects of full support for HTML5 / CSS3 / SVG, or (most likely) they will wait for lagging behind, and this may take years.
Well, not years, maybe, but a couple of years.

I'm not whine, let's just be realistic. IE8 - does not support border-radius, on which modern web aesthetics rests (or can I look at a lot of Western designs?). What are we talking about?
