Did you guys forget what pain in the ass was a couple of years ago when IE was the most used browser everywhere?

Seriously, f. Microsoft. Just because finally they made a decent browser, doesn't mean that we should be that grateful. Their business was "make a shitty browser while we can", and now that they can't anymore "ok, sorry guys, here's very nice browser, btw, it won't work on our most used OS version, even though every other browser works".

"We" simply prefer to base our decisions on the current state of affairs, not on the way things where years ago. If your business requires you to support IE, do it. If not: don't. But please don't make it sound like you have some holy war to fight. Thanks.
