IE Sucks..... And Always Will!!
I seriously think all the IE hate is just computer geek bandwagoning. As a computer layman, I really do not have a problem with it. In fact, I went back to it because I couldn't stand Firefox after trying it for a week...never used Chrome though.

When you're on the web development side of the fence and witness first-hand exactly how IE is messing it up for everyone, especially the laymen, you'll understand why there's so much hate out there for it.Quote:

I do web development and I prefer IE over Chrome. For serious application development Chrome has no regard for breaking changes.
The only developers that prefer IE are those that develop in .Net/ASP since it was built around the same framework as IE it tends to work well.
Anyone who codes in standard compliance has to work in hacks to get their pages/designs to work in IE browsers.
Microsoft ignores standards and tries to create their own. The only reason IE has such a large percent of the market is due to consumer ignorance. IE comes pre-packaged with all Windows installs and has been since day one. This was a psychological effect that most people refer to the internet as the "E" icon and don't see it as just a program. They don't realize they have other options out there. they just assume that IE is how they connect to the internet. Same effect happened years ago when Dial up was the only means. Most people associated the "AOL" icon with connecting to the internet.
Over the years people are becoming more aware of the other options out there besides IE and are becoming aware of all of the issues associated with IE. IE has been slowly loosing market share and will continue to until they understand that they need to follow compliance standards and fix all of the security holes they introduce in a timely matter not on a schedule that leaves it users wide open.
The main reason not to use IE is the fact that it is the number one targeted browser for spyware,viruses, trojans, etc. Hackers know they have a better chance of breaking into your system when it is the mostly used browser.
