I agree. I've spent the last 5 years porting a massive enterprise platform away from a VB6/COM/IE only into .net and cross browser.
Our entire clientbase is enterprise customers. We have people who have only just upgraded to XP and IE7 (bear in mind IE8 works on XP). The amount of shit you have to go through to get IE to behave is insane. There are so many subtle bugs even up to IE10 that consistently fuck with you over and over again.
Add to that, minor upgrades fuck up stuff left right and centre. These happen suddenly and throw you right in the shit with your clients who think you've suddenly broken everything.
I have 104 hours booked against IE issues in the last two years. This is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
My only salvation is I get to do a fair bit of stuff with Linux as its part of our new architecture.
