So true. When Chrome is first with a new CSS feature, it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread.

When Apple does it, it’s looked at with derision.

By...who? There's 100 comments in this thread right now and not one is criticizing the new features.

I can quote the whole thing if you like.

So, "new" as in first implementation in a browser.

Derision is not the same as criticism. I was referring to the comment,

> Web developers are interested in the features that are widely supported. "Being first" helps no one.

which I read as expressing contempt - the very definition of "derisive".
