" but if you use multiple computers"

If you use multiple Windows computers!

There aren't too many of those at my house. The IE debate ends at a single vendor's operating system. All other browsers run almost on any platform they are allowed.

If you use enough computers that maintaining a set of extensions is too much hassle, IE becomes a good browser for those computers on which it runs, whether or not that's all of them.

(Yes, I know about chrome extension sync, I find it's only useful if all of those computers are your own)

I hate it when people drag the whole "it only runs on Windows" argument into it. There is plenty of software that runs on only one OS (including OSX). That does not make it crap software. It just makes it OS specific.
