> IE was cutting edge until Firefox. The biggest problem with IE was all the insanely weird shit it did, not missing features. This is completely incorrect. IE lacked CSS2, it lacked proper PNG support, it lacked HTML5 tag support for ages, its DOM implementation was missing functions for the DOM spec that it implemented, it lacked SVG support entirely, it didn't have meaningful developer tools (no, the browser toolbar didn't count because it crashed so much) until IE7... The list goes on. It's simply revisionist to say that IE wasn't missing features. It was nowhere close to the cutting edge, even when its releases were cut. IE lacked just as much as it got wrong, even at the time.
