I have had enough of seeing professional sites which break in IE. I do not care if you hate Microsoft, the people who use Microsoft products, coding for IE, etc. If a site you built does not work in IE, then you are a complete crap developer. Period.
Any solution which doesn’t work for 60-80% of your users isn’t a good solution - whether you like it or not.
The Google Docs widget for iGoogle cannot be logged into from IE7. That is bush league Google, get your act together.
Friend requests on Last.fm display scrollbar hell for IE users. That’s not even hard to fix, they’re just being lazy.
Countless sites can’t be bothered to optimize for IE because “IE sucks,” and you know what? They’re right, IE does suck. I waste loads of time optimizing HTML & CSS so that they will work in IE6 and IE7. I hate doing it, and I strongly Encourage Microsoft to get their acts together (which they claim to be doing with IE8 which passes the ACID test).
What I do not do is say that I can’t be bothered to code for a broken browser. That is lazy, ignorant, and inexcusable. Developers who take that stance are beneath my contempt. Grow up and get to work in the real world.
