Honestly I find it in a bad taste. Also, there is nothing to ashame about using IE especially IE9. It's truly a decent enough browser.

- ericd 15y agoIE6/7 have left so many mental scars on developers over the years that I think "IE" will evoke those two for developers for many years after it stops being objectively worse.
- ryan-allen 15y agoI find this comparison offensive and juvenile.
- ericd 15y agoI wasn't talking about the comparison, just that the post clearly was clearly referring to the bad old versions rather than the new, more compliant IE. But while we're on the topic, jokes are often meant to be logically absurd but ring sort of true. For a lot of developers, IE has had more of a direct, negative impact on them than all of those dictators combined, so it kind of feels right, even if it shouldn't. You shouldn't take it so seriously. People getting offended by jokes is offensive to me, because it makes for a more humorless world.
- chc 15y agoLook at the tables on caniuse.com. The only browser to which it compares favorably is Safari 3 (from 4 years ago) and all other versions of IE.
- blntechie 15y agoThat's why I said it's "decent enough" and not "best". Even as a developer who have had problems with IE before, I can say people find that IE9 is real good. It's the opinion from my extended circle and not anyway scientific. They don't know what HTML is for a fact.
