I don't think you'll get the debate you're looking for because I have a hard time picturing anyone here voting IE. Seriously, expect a landslide (and the votes show that thus far).
 
Maybe the question should have been "Are there any good aspects to IE?" :P

A little off subject, but according to MIke Meyers in his 6th edition A+ all in one guide, IE and Outlook Express come FREE with Windows. I laughed my ass off with that one :)

Well ... there might possibly be? While, like I said, I did vote for FF, this page here has some slightly interesting FF criticism, with linked sources for every statement (although I didn't have the time/motive to actually follow the source links). You guys should glance at it, at the very least it's very relevant to this whole topic, and it looks like someone actually put good effort into it. I mentioned this in some other thread a while ago *shrug. It doesn't seem to have a lot of clout in my (admittedly anything but expert) opinion, but at least a little bit, yes.

Anyway, here: Firefox Myths
 
Firefox, I'm currently installing 32bit plugins into my 64bit build of FF with nspluginwrapper :D

It's not just that, seeing as IE comes with your Windoze installation many people are too lazy to change, some don't even know how.

[ot]personally, i use Linux, so, laziness is the last thing on my mind, although, sometimes i feel like throwing the :swear:ing thing through the tw4ting winndow[/ot]

I know exactly how yu feel, but the fact that we continue is what makes us techs. When i first started using Linux people told me that the way to learn was by breaking stuff and learning how to fix it so now i tell myself "every headache is a chance to further my knowledge"......the only problem is that I dont know an awfull lot:D

that's true, however, the more you learn, the more you discover there is to learn, i'm still not happy compiling source code, although ican do it if i have to but i prefer to install from a .deb or a .rpm

BTW: i haven't even remastered a Live CD, but don't let me list things i haven't done , e.g. backporting & stuff like that[ot]learn from your mistakes, how can you ?, when you don't know what you did wrong[/ot]Linux does keep your attention, Linux can be a tw4t, but you have to love it, cos without it we'd all be forced to use Windowz

It is good that M$ has people who love their products, otherwise the security companies would run out of business :P
 
he prob. hasn't used FF or any other browser sufficiently enough to see why FF's winning this one.
