> I don't understand this sentiment. Why would it matter whether the UX is different between browsers for a date or colour input?

It’s not just a question of consistency: some of HTML UI elements are still in pre-alpha stage in modern browsers, almost completely broken, despite being part of the standard for many years. It’s a joke.

For an example, check out the RANGE element; you will find no shortage of articles complaining about how ridiculously broken and unusable it is.

Could you shed some more light on this? I couldn't find anything from a cursory search. Looking at the W3Schools demo[0], it doesn't look too bad (other inputs set the bar really low). Is it not very friendly with styling? I hear that a lot when people talk about native browser controls.
