That is simply false. The average internet user should not have to make that leap of faith. They simply will think your website/app is crap and they will stop using it, because there's probably another product out there that does the same thing but actually works for them.
If you want to gain users and keep them, you do not make their experience intentionally bad.
- axod 17y agoMy experience is the opposite of yours. IE usage is the minority, so I don't feel bad if their experience is slightly worse than users using a better browser. When they come and ask why X is slow, we send them over to firefox/safari/chrome, and they thank us.

I get to decide what I do, and so far it's worked: http://tinyurl.com/d8nqu7 http://tinyurl.com/d8nqu7 (Traffic growth) If you work in the corporate world, then totally. You probably have to bend to IE's every whim.
