IE is very standard complient, and of course they've added lots of stuff. The web has evolved a lot in the past 5 years, the standard has not, and Microsoft has always been good to push new stuff. Of course, if you're still found of the unix shell of linux, that's not an argument for you, but I personally like to use tools made for this century 
.
Well, IE decided to push ahead and add all these new features, and for Mozilla and the other rendering engines this was a big lose our because the majority of the globe uses IE.. and therefore develop pages for IE.
I agree on the fact that netscape is currently the worst browser, its very bloated, and is using the old Gecko based rendering engine.
IE kinda
made the standards, and didnt really give the other browsers a choice..however in some things they werent very compliant (i remember XHTML support was very buggy in IE 3 and 4 - even though XHTML was new it was still rendered properly in Moz).
I agree on the tools for this centuary thing as well, but i sometimes like to argue that the traditional way of things is better (sometimes anyways.)
