I presume that he chose 57 varieties because of the old Heinz ads.

There are two major browsers, right, but about three or four
different versions of each. Many people just take the ISP's
install disks and NEVER upgrade the browser.

Then add on to that the various versions of Javascript, Java
and so on. It's next to impossible for a WYSIWYG editor to
provide code compatible to many let alone all combinations.
Some of the ones I've tried make really bad guesses as a
result, and you have to go in and fudge the code by hand.
