Sure FF renders HTML and CSS better than IE, that's all it does.

True ... IE is MUCH better at making hot chocolate.
What do you think a web browsing client is supposed to do? If it doesn't render HTML and CSS very well ... it's not much of a web browser then, is it? Imagine if this was a brand new browser from a brand new company. It would be laughed out of business with these bugs. But because it's an MS product, lots of people give it a lot of leeway.
That is the worst comparision I have ever heard. You obviously don't write code for internet browsing. The issue for me isn't how much someone browsing my site likes IE. My issues are how IE reads the code I write and why doesn't it behavior in the same manner as the other "standard complient" browsers.
IE has no DOM inspector, you can't view individual cookies. You can't even delete individual cookies. If you want to delete a cookie for a site you have to delete them all. Um did someone say tabbed browsing? Come on there is a million things FF can do IE cannot so I am totally confused as to what you think IE does better.
There are so many options you can toggle in FF that are not adjustable in IE. IE is Great for newbs, but guess what no one posting on here is a newb, or at least I thought not until I saw your post.
The fact is IE is out dated and the new IE coming is a rip off of FF! So how can you say IE is better then FF when IE is trying to be FF to be better?!? Look at the 'feature' list for IE 7 and you will see it has all the FF features from a couple relaeses ago. They are just catching up. FF is so far ahead.
What exactly does IE do better in your opinion? What features does it posscess that leaves FF in the dust? I honestly cannot think of 1, except Active X controls and if you want to call that a feature then fine but that is the reason for 60% of the security flaws that you recieve updates for and I perfer to browse without it.
Websites that don't work in FF but do in IE have nothing to do FF not working and everything to do with the author of the code not doing their job correctly. Too many people think that there is something wrong with the browser. It usually is poopy code that hasn't been tested or authroed properly.
Sorry I am ranting here but man that statement has me totally baffled.
IE has no DOM inspector
Actually it does. You just need to install the free toolbar. Get it from the beta 2 download pages.
Does anyone know why the IE java console won't keep info about jave older then one page hit?!?
Drives me insane!
