Ha! This makes me chuckle. I myself was a web developer during the decade of IE6 dominance, advocating for Mozilla all the while. Despite it being trendy and contrarian to praise "M$" nowadays, I feel like that ice is only now beginning to thaw. Not so much the coming of spring, but a slight decrease in the hoarfrost on the windowpane. Great shuddering booms as the lake ice cracks. That sort of thing. Yes, if Microsoft continues being non-horrible, I may eventually warm up to them :)

Shuffles back to corner. Furtively plays with new TypeScript toy. Hisses at passerby.

I remember installing Mozilla Firefox on family friends computers in those years and changing the icon to IE so the average person wouldn’t notice and the world would have one more Firefox user.

I was a teenager.

One thing I’ve come to realize is that MS definitely excels at programming language design, coming out of college I had no experience with the MS CLR languages and I was pleasantly surprised at how well designed and usable their languages are.
