I upvoted this for sarcasm. But upon reflection I think maybe I missed the point. I guess a lot of it hinges on your interpretation of the words "competitive" and "parity". I'm hoping that it means the expression "IE issue" gradually becomes the exception rather than the norm.

These days most of my bugs are Firefox acting differently than I expect it to (though perhaps compliant to standards). I haven't really had to say "IE Issue" unless I was dealing with 8 and lower.

I'm glad I looked up rule 34 real quick; I don't expect there's porn of this. What's actually involved here is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law

To second what Navarr said, I don't really see IE issues these days unless it's on a site that needs to support versions prior to IE9. As often as not, issues in modern IE are due to developers writing code that targets only a single vendor-prefixed version of an API instead of supporting standards, which makes IE look deficient (instead of that sloppy developer) even when it has good support for the APIs that a site uses.

  To name just one thing that IE still doesn't support: setting the download attribute on a link. Neither does Safari. This makes it very clumsy/impossible to write real web apps that need to save to the local file system. The scenario is generating a document client-side using JavaScript. Now you want to let the user save it. In Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and no doubt others, this isn't a problem. Just set the download attribute on the link to the file name you want to use.
