I think this letter is about 3 years late.
IE7 fixes most of the annoying stupid problems that used to drive me crazy; now I can develop a site in Safari and Firefox, and it usually works almost perfectly in IE7. I don't mean to say that IE7 is perfect, just that the problems aren't nearly as bad as they used to be.
- nailer 19y agoVisit Acid 2 in Opera. It's fine. Visit in in FF2. It's a little odd, but you can tell its a smiley face. In FF3 it's fine. Visit in in Konq, or Safari, or Nokia browser. It's fine. Visit in it IE 7. Then make up your mind.
- dcurtis 19y agoYeah, theoretical tests show how shitty IE7 really is, but in practice, it works 98% of the time for me.
- nailer 19y agoYou're completely right - IE7 works fine for users. But that level of user support would be a lot easier for developers to achieve if we didn't have to code around its quirks.
- dcurtis 19y agoMy point is that it has like 95% fewer quirks than IE6. And I was referring to it as a developer. It still is hideous. Why did they take they file/edit menus off? That was probably the worst user interface mistake in the history of Microsoft, only to be superseded by the Office 2007 interface.
