Do not like Internet Explorer
I hate Internet Explorer as a web browser because it is slow and clunky and unfriendly. Unfortunately, most of the world uses Internet Explorer because it is bundled for free with Windows and so we, as content providers, must deal with that horrible fact of how we are experienced throughout the world.
It does not display website layout as good as other browsers. Because of this, webmasters have tough time ensuring that their websites, manage to look just like how they want it too, as well as looks the same on Internet Explorer. Most of the time it will look as just good on all other browsers, but one would have to spend additional time ensuring IE users face no problem which is why most of the time templates file contain such lines
Webstandards - That's the thing here. IE have once upon a time somehow managed to make it their mission to make a webstandard of their own, so that all mankind should use only IE, and nothing else. This plan, however, took a shot to the head and the independent browser community began to make a webstandard that applies to all browsers, more or less. This haven't yet struck the geniuses behind IE, they're getting there, I'm sure... But damn, they're sure taking their time, no ?
Therefor I do not code my own site to support Internet Explorer anymore. There might be a hack or conditional comment still, but I stop now.
Clients have nothing to fear. I will keep up the good work of having clients site's cross browser friendly, that means even IE, but not my own site. I do not give a tossing frisbee for IE, and that's that. Period.

Aha, it will happen I'm sure.
Amen to that, I can't wait until IE 6 especially drops below 5%, I hate that pile 'o crap browser.

FireFox has taken over IE (combined) as the most used rboswer since January 2009 — http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp
