For many people out there Windows and IE were the first and the only. Those were the symbols of a computer and internet. It's hard to give up on a symbol, right? Also, while FF was gaining traction among SOHO users, the large corporation defaulted (and still do) to IE, for various reasons. For many of them, it was unthinkable for IE to be replaced by any contender. And even should it get replaced, they want to be compatible with the large body of other corporations sticking to IE. Last but not least, the typical web developer of this day is well capable of developing correct FF code. It wasn't necessarily the case years ago.
