Javascript is a great and the cross browser libraries do resolve a lot of issues. Unfortunately, the problem is NOT ONLY javascript incompatibilities. It's how the CSS, the box model and all the other crap is interpreted differently in every browser [Specially when it comes from the Monopolistic Empire Of Evil] - and some of that stuff you can't resolve without annoying hacks.
On the other hand if you have one container that everything runs in, that stays the same regardless of the browser it will make life easier, that's why Flash is so successful.
I'll be waiting to see who wins this one... Cheers!
