If you're running into bugs with some complicated behaviour, sit down and try to think of another way to do it... maybe a simpler way. For example, I see people complaining every day that floats don't work like they expect. They're right, of course... even non-IE browsers seem to behave differently around floats, but that's not the point. The point is that 90% of all cases where people are complaining about floats can be solved by using absolute positioning (which is something most people don't dare to use for some reason, even when it does make sense) or display inline...

Never use CSS hacks? Some browsers do need help besides IE you know. Conditional comments are intrusive. . Also, if you find yourself drilling down your page often with a lengthy selector, you might want to consider adding another class to the page.
