I'm a BSA on a very large build with developers from students to engineering fellows on it. not follower prattle but hard experience that is creating unnecessary overruns. /
Damn, had a long rebuttal typed out and accidentally closed the tab... lol, wish I could invent a browser that would prevent that.. I would make a million...
Anyways, BSA = the software alliance?
My experience, not necessarily personally, but through a number of web hosters and coders is quite different. One, my son actually, writes ecommerce functionality for the Amanda software that most North American municipal governments use to manage their business operations. This is real world web application that depends on reliable functionality and consistency.
My other informed input would be from the guys at Sunny Oasis who have a fairly large web hosting and web design operation out of Georgetown and Ottawa.
Both have strong preferences for IE, (especially over Chrome which seems to regularily break links in ecommerce sites). City of Markham, whom my son works for, have banned Chrome from any city pc's because of it.
Firefox, and good old Netscape before it, was always my favorite browser for the longest time however since about IE7, the advantages of Firefox have pretty well dissipated for me personally, although I still use it out of habit and feelings of comfort..
As I said before I didn't create this thread to discuss the merits of which browser is better. This discussion will never have a clear winner as it is very much a situational thing..
The reason I see IE getting blamed the most is on pc's rife with spyware and Trojans, believe me when I say this, IE10 on a clean system is virtually foolproof for real world everyday business apps.
