The only time to stop blaming IE is when we start ignoring IE

Nobody here uses IE anymore, move along

Sure, let's forget all about the hundreds of millions of IE8 installs.

The obvious correct solution is to get everyone off of IE altogether.

I make that argument myself fairly often, but IE should go away. Microsoft would prefer users use Edge, and are not updating IE except for security patches. So while I will join you in railing against people who say everyone should adopt [browser of choice here], I don't have a problem saying Microsoft IE needs to go away.

we need to get rid of IE7

We should all not care about IE anymore. Devs supporting it is the reason for people using it. If all the sites would be broken IE, users would be forced to upgrade.

Internet Explorer is a reason for some of us to care.

It's not really about being "happy" to use IE. It's about using what does the job.

It would be better if IE, period, was dead. Otherwise we're just switching one terribly obsolete IE for another terribly obsolete IE.

if internet explorer is important in your life, you can forget some of these.

It would be nice if it made IE disappear out of its sheer appeal to the masses.

IE is outdated and unsupported by the maker. Time to let it die.

IE (all versions) is estimated to account for less than 6% of users, these days. It’s so small it’s basically “exotic browser” territory.

I think the argument these days should be “do X unless you’re unfortunate enough to care about IE”.

If IE wasn't relevant, this wouldn't be a discussion here.

amelius | karma 42902 | avg karma 1.63 · | 2014-11-14 17:05:13+00:00

But what about IE?

pierrefar | karma 5674 | avg karma 4.22 · | 2009-06-18 06:28:50

Life's too short to use IE.
