I have have no problem with the extended features, or even rendering bad
HTML. It's the increasing failure to properly support things like CSS2,
browsing experience - tabbed pages, ad / pop-up blocking, and the never
ending Security Updates.

So, I guess I have problems with IE both as a user, and a developer. And
most of the problems I have with it are from a user's perspective. It's
crap.

some of the "alternative" browsers.
I think this is kind of a strawman.

What if MS waited 5+ years between releases from IE3?
