Yes and no. Less work for frontend guys I believe. More choice for you, because you can get the same decent looking pages (theoretically) with a different UI of the browser.

And, IMO, here is where Opera wins - their UI is superior to Chrome's and Safari's.

Its ability to configure basically anything from user interface is far above any other browser. Chrome is a browser that I recommend to parents. It has dumbed down interface, zero options - perfect for average majority. It is still powerful when combined with dozens of extensions, but it still can't compete with Opera in this area.

It's like KDE vs Gnome3 if that makes more sense for someone.

I like Chrome's UI. There's almost nothing it doesn't do that I'd want. I could totally do without extensions if I had to, but they are nice to have.

My Firefox feels like Vim, I suppose Firefox wins in the configurability department, at least when you include plugins.

Of course, only desktop Firefox.
