Actually, it is not hard to create a site for most popular browsers without work-arounds. Just code within the subset of W3C standards supported by all the borwsers you are interested in serving. Also, realize that HTML and CSS is not designed to provide pixel-exact control over the brower; think of it more as a suggestion to the browser.

Maybe I am being nearsighted, (by the way I do have myopia) but Internet Explorer simply isn't acceptable! Opera and Firefox both have better features and security, and they render pages closer to W3C standards. Most people using Internet Explorer don't know better, or are too stubborn to realize how bad of a browser it is!
