I have done web-development both in the bad IE days but also recently and IMO it wasn't as bad to develop for IE as it is for Safari today. Safari is broken in strange and random ways and missing odd features and is a moving target (and seem to break more with time). Developing for IE was extremely well documented (especially in later versions) and avoiding pitfalls was very easy, even for people new to creating webpages using a few Google searches. Not so for Safari - unless you cut it completely off from all modern advances on the web. It just felt worse back then because IE was much more widespread.

Were you actually doing any serious web development in the mid 2000s? Because I have a feeling you wouldn't be saying this if you were.. :-)

I can see that came out wrong. I'll try to rephrase...
