This isn't some badass act of defiance against The Establishment like Gruber seems to want you to think, given his last paragraph: 4% of his viewers use IE.

If that went up overnight to 40%, you know whose gorilla it would become.

the point is, the likelihood of that happening is pretty close to zero. gruber has aligned himself with the tech elite, and the early adopters.

suppose some new version of firefox was released that sucked, and broke everybody's css layouts. gruber's crowd would almost certainly not adopt that particular version. they value technical superiority above almost everything else.
