It seems that IE has been a consistent impediment to web based technologies for upwards of 10 years now.
This is patently untrue. In 1999, IE was the best available browser (Netscape would have been your other option).
It wasn't until Firefox in 2005 that a real alternative emerged (IMHO).
Sorry to be nitpicky, but it matters.

I'd go so far as to say that it was 2008 before something genuinely better came along in the form of Chrome. Firefox did a good job of getting Microsoft to release IE7, but it was never compellingly better in the way that Chrome is.
