Uh, wow - I said "it was so good that people kept using it for years" meaning "until 2005 or something", not "and IE6 is awesome and we should all use it until today".

I think your post here is more about your own PTSD from having to support IE6 than it was about my post. :S

Nope again. "People kept using it for years" because the web was Built For Microsoft Explorer, to the tune of `if (!navigator.userAgent.match(/MSIE/)) window.location='notsupported.htm';`

Not at all similar to today's web Built For Google Chrome, notatall, noooo.
