>The reason the -webkit prefix was necessary is simple: the W3C and the CSS Working Group are ineffective, failed organizations.

This is a bit too far. The -webkit prefix was a gesture of courtesy. What if other browsers implement it differently, and the spec changes? then older webkit browsers will render it incorrectly.

The solution is simple: code to the standards, then target the fringe browsers. It doesn't matter if it's webkit or IE, this is a future proof, cross compatible solution that will solve both problems.
