Hopefully you are right.

Yes I agree... IE sucks for coding. But sadly IE holds 80% of the market.

I prefer to code on FF as it has some good web dev goodies and is definitely more standards compliant. Sadly my pages are often broken in some way on IE and I have to hack and slash the code to get them to look right.

But FF is a whopping 15% of web users. Chrome will only fragment 20% of web users from 15% FF, 5% other to some other figure. I don't think IE will die anytime soon. MS has no incentive to be more strict with that kind of domination?

But I optimistically agree with you, maybe another browser will spur a stricter compliance among all in the future?
