That's a reasonable perspective. For me, my thorniest issues have come from browser incompatibilities, so it's more important to catch and fix issues at the moment they're introduced rather than later. This isn't necessarily testing all browsers; just the ones that I know are likely to trigger differences. For example, I might run IE 8 + IE 11 + Firefox + Chrome + Mobile Safari.

Fast tests (< 1-5s) have a lot of value to me (although "test when I press save" is as good or even better than "test as I type," as far as I'm concerned), so Wallaby is something I'm interested in. I'm more likely to do manual test sub-setting than give up my cross-browser tests, though.

One potential customer's perspective; you can take it or leave it. :-) I'm not necessarily a good example of the mainstream. I've voted on the issue.
