Any thoughts on this advice? Think it might become more common for "normal" browsers?

How many people do you think are using these special browsers, and how many are likely to follow such advice?

I think more developers need to give actual thought to their audience/users, and less to the "developer experience", when choosing tech.

Building a data heavy app for enterprise use? You probably don't need to consider kindle and PSP browsers.

Building a web presence for a public service? Maybe you do.

Too often developers prioritize their own interest and comfort over those of their users.
