First; IE isn't so good. Like all MS products<br>
it's just barely 'good enough' and frequently they<br>
skirt the line on even that.<br>
<br>
Second; it's because there are talented people <br>
who fall into two categories: A). they simply <br>
want to make things better and, B). They purely<br>
HATE MS and all it's components.<br>

There's several reasons,
1. IE is bundled and necessary with MS operating systems. (There's been a lot of litigation about this in non US markets)
2. Web developers spend a lot of extra time making their web sites work with IE.
3. Many people won't go to the trouble of downloading and using another browser.
4. Even then there's 270 million using FoxFire.
Now I'll ask another question.
If IE is so good why is there FoxFire, Chrome, and Safari?

Most of us that do web development on a regular basis don't like MS
browsers or web development products. I've wasted more time trying to
get web pages to render properly in IE. Yuck..
Then why isn't there more use of other browsers?
