Internet Explorer vs. Firefox

IE8 is fine, so long as people doing work on the site don't use hacks in their stylesheet to work for IE6/7's lack of support. ( I'm talking about stuff like.. _height: ). If they set up their sites poorly, they could see a LOT of problems in IE8. Hence the "compatibility mode".. which is just going to cause more problems, I think.

Personally, I've seen the light of a better browser for years now, and Microsoft took WAY too long to release 8. (almost 8 years? since that poor excuse for a browser (IE7) shouldn't really count..) If it weren't for addons, I'd use Chrome over Firefox simply for it's great css3 support so far.

Firefox has its own suite of unoffical code that doens't follow standards, same as IE, thats a moot point.
