I just can't see what's so special anymore about MSIE as clearly it's pretty stuck on the MSIE 4 level of development. And to recap abit, that was 6-7 years ago. Now during that time other competing products have come from sctratch and exceeded that, but yet many NameProers incist on using MSIE. Most likely it's because of being accustomed, not seeing a need for change, not perhaps having a choice or then using some "MSIE only" ActiveX Intranet solution. Out of these reasons ActiveX is the only one I can grasp and agree on, but the others aren't really worth making a change to modern browsing.
I was working on some CSS code last week and seriously decided to forget about MSIE browsers and how they render some font specifications, because can't really arse myself to work against good web standards and instead have to find some halfass solution that might work for MSIE. I'm annoyed by having to develop for users that use a browser that can't follow proper web design, but for which you have to dig up some obscure documentation. Rather than having endless "Sorry, you can't access with Netscape" messages, I have been pondering on putting up a sign "Sorry you can't access with a standards non compliant browser."
Here's a thought: be a serious domainer and use what's the bleeding edge of web browser development. Choose Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox or Opera. See if there's something you can't do with it on standard compliant websites. Notice the ease of being able to stick to clear W3C documents and not having to dig for hours for a ductape solution.
