The web is a visual medium, and that should really be the end of the argument. Yes, it should "work" in a text based browser, but expecting flawless rendering on something like Mosaic is just asinine.

It costs a lot of money to develop interactive properties, and it costs a hell of a lot more to develop good ones. Developing a site that supports every conceivable browser/os combination just isn't very practical, and while I test my stuff across environments because I'm anal you don't really have a right to give someone crap because their site doesn't work with Konq on Linux.

I mean do you see phone booths designed with brail readouts so the deaf can have conversations? No because it isn't practical to design a system to include such a small group. Of course maybe the open source community could go around and offer to upgrade sites to support all that for free? I'm sure they wouldn't turn away the offer of help...

(and yes, the number of personal computer users and shoppers running open source with something like conq is well below 0.01%.)
