Those are not very kind words, but I've tried to use IE beta 2 and it just doesn't feel right - I'll stick with Firefox. And this is not being just anti-Microsoft because it's Microsoft, but the browser just looks like a mix of all other browsers and the old features of IE as well (the outdated find box, for instance)

IE fell behind in both features and compliance. It used to be it was easier to fudge a site to look right in IE than anything else. Now, with many people going to strict standards, IE has bugs that will infuriate the average web guru.
