What's happening to my (former) colleagues and bananas? Or maybe it's just another useless opinion. Who cares, anyway.
There is no crying over spilt milk under the bridge on a rainy day
Some links
Haven't read it all, but a first look provokes a first rant. That page looks like shit in IE!
ReplyDeleteNow I know the "but IE is crappy" argument, but it doesn't work that way. A good webdeveloper checks his page looks good in all major browsers. Like it or not, IE still is the major browser. We can all be very indealistic about Firefox, but if you don't want to scare away visitors, you'd better make sure the page looks good in IE as well. Or do principles overrule development logic?
Lets face it, 80% of Firefox' success is because it's the only feasible alternative to IE in a long, long time. However, I don't think we should let emotion take over from common web sense.

Only goes to show that people who make a great browser do not necessarily make great websites ;-)
