"It is popular" does not in any way contradict my statement which was "it is a pile of shit". Internet explorer used to "power the internet" too. It was also a colossal pile of shit.
There is generally more business to be found cleaning up piles of shit than there is shining stacks of gold.

Or as they say in the UK: "Where there's muck, there's brass." http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/408900.html
