I still spend a disproportionate amount of time designing for IE even after dropping IE6, because IE7 is still so far behind the other browsers it isn’t funny.

However if IE 10 was the best browser around, I would happily turn around and endorse it — but what are the chances of that? The latest technology supported by IE is ten years old already.

The good news is (is this obvious?) since web designers are all using and pushing proper browsers, the experience will continue to degrade for IE users until it’s impossible to surf the net with it at all.

Seriously now, I leave all my work broken in IE, and in doing so I make sites that load twice as fast on the other end! Everybody wins! Except Internet Explorer’s unwitting victims, and idiots.

Naturally I leave noscript-element-like messages everywhere advertising a variety of modern browsers.

ANyways we encountered a site that didn’t work in Firefox so I said to load it in IE to which she groaned and said “That is stupid I don’t want to use that”.

Once you start converting the average user and they realize what a piece of junk IE is then IE’s days are numbered.

The important point to note is that IE’s dominance is indeed slipping, and it’s doing so remarkably fast among the web-savvy audience at W3Schools. If these trends continue, it’s only a matter of time before the public at large comes to adopt better alternatives like Firefox.
