I think that is what everyone does. However, Peter has a personal
vendeta against people finding safari useful for whatever reason.

I use firefox full time on the PC (although IE is now as good or better
for developing as firefox is) and have it as a spare on the mac, but I
couldn't use it all the time.

I use Firefox mostly, but there are sites where Safari works better,
and it's not much trouble to switch if that's the case. For example,
Adobe's UK store home page works with Safari 2.0.4 but not[1] with
Firefox 2.0.0.4, which just brings up a blank page:
