Most of all, I'm happiest the world is moving forward to recognizing and rewarding more modern and updated browsers with their usage, whatever those might be.
IE wise, I'm a fan of not having to code around the weak links. Currently, I use enough standard libraries not to worry about IE too much. Still, between different IE versions, I even have to deal with bugs
only specific to 6,7,8 which for some reason don't show up in other browsers.
The ability to use cutting edge stuff in modern browsers does get limited programming around the weakest links (IE) instead of the strongest.
