From eWeek: "In a session billed as the browser wars up close and personal, key Microsoft, Mozilla and Google representatives spoke about the past present and future of the browser platform as they see it . . . one of the issues that stood out to me was that of developer discontent. When the Ajaxians opened up questioning to the audience, an attendee stood up and said Google's announcement of its new browser "was greeted with shock and horror," by him."

It could always be improved, although I agree that 86/100 for acid3 is getting close to the "acceptable" mark.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_3
Note that only bucket 6 of acid 3 refers to ECMAscript functionality. In this bucket, gecko gets a purple, meaning this:
"All 16 subtests passed: Colored rectangle (red, orange, yellow, lime, blue, purple - for each of the six rectangles, in order)."
So gecko passes acid 3 for javascript.
These are the gecko bugs that need fixing:

Twenty one out of 100 (IE 8 beta 2) is, of course, absolutely atrocious. IE has a lot of catching up to do.
IE has also even yet to begin catching up with this further test suite:
