Edit:
I know it's only commented out for > ie8. But right now, that's nearly everyone. And I personally still write ie8 compatible code for what it's worth. Stuck on old jquery, old angular, all sorts of shims, etc.
Not saying it is the definitive truth but w3schools puts it at 0.1% < ie9.

- joshstrange 10y agoIt's only commented out for non-IE browsers and IE versions >= IE 9. See http://www.quirksmode.org/css/condcom.html http://www.quirksmode.org/css/condcom.html Edit: Fixing logic
- matthewbauer 10y agoIt's the other way around: it's only enabled for < IE 9.
- joshstrange 10y agoThat's what I meant to say haha, I got distracted mid-comment and forgot I was saying it was commented out.
- chipperyman573 10y agoThe w3schools data is most likely flawed as the majority of people accessing it are WebDevs who would not be using lt IE 9
- nathancahill 10y agoYou write IE8 code and don't recognize <!--[if lt IE 9]> ?
- buckbova 10y agoOf course I recognize it. What I'm inferring is ie8 is near extinction (I hope) and it’s just comments now. I've been writing software used in the medical field. And apparently they have a hard time letting go of ie8 and my team hasn't been given the thumbs up to forget about ie8 yet.
- luhn 10y agoW3School's browser usage stats only reflects traffic on their site, which is a heavily biased sample. The best source I've found for browser stats is gs.statcounter.com, which puts IE8 usage at a bit over 1%.
