I strongly doubt you ever tried to make a site work in Netscape 3. If you'd nest layers (yes, the <layer> tag) more than 2 levels, random stuff would break.
You talk about APIs but really, if JS compat was your only problem you were a happy developer. It was the markup engine itself that was crap. IE's was simply also crap, just in a different way.
In 1998 or so, Scottrade, my broker, advised me to quit using IE and only use Netscape because of all horrible issues they had making their code work with it and that they advised all their clients to do the same. That's almost a quote.
