I'd be curious as to what problems they are having with IE to not support it. When I get in there it complains about me using IE but I can edit the objects they provide much the same as any other browser they do support. It's just the UI bar is not showing so I cannot create new objects. It's just curiosity really, what's the technical hurdle in this case for IE?

I understand where you're coming from, but as a side note, I love how everyone is now for IE. It's quite ironic. I almost did this myself yesterday when I saw someone didn't support IE. I wonder how far this trend will go?

  Well, it's not that I'm all for IE as it is not my browser of choice. I just choose not to ignore it since it is still a rather popular browser. I get curious as to why people choose to do so. If your web app requires a feature that IE doesn't support then I understand, but ignoring IE simply because of preference just seems like a lost opportunity. But to suggest an answer to your question, I think we may finally be at the point that people can let grudges of the past go and realize the people working on IE today are not the people who created the problems associated to IE6 in the past. At the least the website in general is rather nice about it all.

  Nowadays with IE10 almost here and IE9 half-decent itself, failure to support IE is sort of a signal of unprofessionalism, since it usually takes a modicum of effort to support it. Personally I design sites first in Firefox, then extend support, and I find Webkit browsers are often more broken than IE.

    Can you give examples of what you find broken in Webkit but not in IE? Are you speaking more of HTML/CSS or JS development? More for my notes of stuff to look for.
