I did work on the web back in those days. The situation now is nothing like it was during IE's dominance in the early 2000s, to claim it is is hyperbole at best.

You are right, it's worse because the problem is more hidden and therefore a lot harder to solve.

At least in the IE days everyone _knew_ IE was a problem, so we were looking for a solution as a community. Now? We comments that are dismissive of crap instead of inspiring towards quality.

In the IE days, you could tell the visitor to use Firefox. iOS does not allow such an easy fix.
