Part of it is because in the past it was usually NN4 that would give people headaches, so out of habit when something looks good in IE but not so good in something else they blame the something else.

The other part of it is IE has such a dominant market share that people obvsiously want their pages to look good in IE so they design for that first and blame the other browser when it doesnt look right. For some reason a lot of people dont realize that if you develop for a standards compliant browser first its much easier to make a few minor changes to make it look right in IE than it is to work the other way around.

Unfortunately the argument of which browser is best always gets thrown in, along with copius amounts of stubborness, when that isnt really relevant. Bottom line you will save time and reach the widest possible audience by developing in a standards compliant browser first. What browser you like best doesnt matter, we all want to save time and reach the widest possible audience, dont we?
