To be fair, IE8 is not nearly as bad as IE6. Most of what IE8 is missing degrades gracefully or can be shimmed, and to be honest my biggest complaints with it are the sorry debugging tools and its JS speed, both of which were within an order of magnitude of the state of the art at the time of its release.

- cozuya 13y agoTo me the biggest issue is the lack of CSS3 selectors, which makes developing even with preprocessors a hassle that entails lots of unnecessary markup classes and other stuff.
