The project already said what you suggest, in fact several times.
Roughly:
"It's a presentation framework based on the power of CSS3 transforms and transitions in modern browsers and inspired by the idea behind prezi.com."
More or less exactly what you said:
"Impress.js is developed with current webkit-based browsers in mind (Chrome, Safari), but should work also in other browsers supporting CSS3 3D transforms and transitions (Firefox, IE10)."
It even says it is tested with nightly builds of Firefox and _then_ came up with the previously quoted:
"I don't really expect it to run smoothly in non-webkit-based browser."
At this point the requirements are already defined, the tested browser setups are listed. This is just surprising insofar as that
- the text before says that Firefox Aurora is tested as well (I've to admit I missed that reading the explanation the first time)
- this (and that was my real point) becomes a ~standard~ disclaimer by now. Chrome it is, the rest be damned. I think that's sad and still stand by my comparison to 'IE optimization' for things like this.

Well, no.
