I have a web designer and programmer and have been for almost 8 years. FireFox only complicates this world for us... IE is still the most popular browser in the world and will be for some time. Look how long IE5-current has lasted without any big upgrades. IE7 puts IE in a whole new class with some features that best those in FireFox.
If you are a real DESIGNER or PROGRAMMER you know that you design for IE and then make it work in FireFox. Anytime you make something that the general public will use you make it work with what more than 80% of the people us... then you worry about those other 20%... you are just dumb and wasting you time if you are designing sites to work in FireFox first.
IE has implemented features that make WEB BASED APPLICATION design MUCH EASIER... try to render a gradient in FireFox using one line of code. You can't... just because Microsoft has added ways for you to do those kinds of things easily by ignoring some of those standards doesn't make then a rouge in the industry who just want to ignore standards... fact of the matter is that they ARE above the internet and if they provide better tools for designers to develop websites and applications then more power to them... maybe these STANDARDS groups should get their act together and come up with some other these kinds of features so Microsoft doesn't have to stray from the standards to give developers access to these kinds of features.
And lets face it... only NERDS install FireFox... If you are nerdy enough to CARE AT ALL about your browsers standard support then you are in a class all by yourself... normal people probably don't even know what FireFox is. Like it or not... thats the truth.
