not really, firefox 3 added acid2 support back around 19-Aug-2006.
IE is far behind firefox

Also, Firefoxes appearance is awful and cluttered compared to IE7's

I've never thought this, I prefer it over IE7's new "hide all the menus and see if people can find them" look : <

=p i don't see that happening.
IE needs to upgrade jscript ( to add support for E4x, generators and iterators, destructuring assignment )
IE needs DOM2 events
IE needs the html5 canvas tag (sure you can emulate it, but other browsers are already working on 3D canvas (using opengl) which you cant emulate.)
IE needs svg support (without adobe's plugin)

IE could use microsummaries which are pure awesome
IE could use html5 Client side persistent storage
IE could use html5 Server sent events (only opera supports these at the moment, example)



heh that's all i can think of at the moment, that's all i can think of from the top of my head.
