IE10 has Grid Layout, a major change-the-way-you-develop type of feature, which no other browser has. IE10 has IndexedDB, another major feature for apps, which only Firefox has the correct implementation of. Among other things, IE10 is not really behind any other browser except with regard to WebGL which is very unfortunate. Of course, IE10 is really good today, but might just be "good" a year from now, which its still the most recent IE version.

IE10 has Grid Layout, a major change-the-way-you-develop type of feature, which no other browser has. This is the problem with web development today. Until a feature is standardised enough that all of the major browsers support it or have a viable alternative available, none of these shiny new toys is really a change-the-way-you-develop type of feature for most people. In particular, no-one doing real work can use them unless they are lucky enough to be able to dictate which browser their customers/clients/colleagues should use. Still, certain browser vendors persist in releasing a new version every five minutes with yet another pre-beta-quality add-in that no-one except a handful of Internet-famous web designers writing blog posts is going to care about. The IE team release less often, which personally I think is actually a very good thing in terms of stability and building real web sites/apps, but it doesn't make their exclusive features worth any more.

Grid Layout, the propreitary CSS feature that has a working draft with one author (guess the company). It is very nice, but there are other tools and box-models that work well and/or are in development with more parties. I'm surprised to hear that IE10 has IndexedDB and that support for it is so poor. That's useful information to know and I feel like I just found a blind-spot that I didn't previously. Thanks.
