The Web is not owned by MS
Anyone who codes for IE-only is killing himself. Is your non-standard HTML readable by people who are vision/sight-impaired? Does your broken code work on non-traditional devices?

Of course not. IE allows all kinds of sloppy practices (e.g., " " instead of the correct " " or better " ", placing the <meta...> tags outside the head section, or specifying elements by leaving out the form: document.theform.name instead of document.forms.theform.name), that break on compliant browsers.

As a professional web developer, I refuse to support or write broken code, because I only have time to do it right...not do it over (when MS finally updates their POS browser in 2006, or whatever).
