IE was not bad at all, at least technically and at least when it was still being actively developed (i.e. <<ie6), compared to its competitors. The bad things (and what the web page is mostly complaining about) are the political shenigans from MS; e.g. bundling it with Windows, and then slowing down development significantly when they got to the monopoly position. And for those that believe MS is now politically better than it was a couple decades ago, just try a recent Windows 10 build. Not only it _still_ bundles Edge as if the EU court ruling was a joke, it will periodically nag you about making it your default browser, even in completely irrelevant places such as Settings. This is all like 20 years ago except that no one seems to care about desktop browsers anymore.
