It always shocks me when I hear of a tech-savvy person using IE. It's true 
that it's not as bad as it used to be, but for years, it was pretty much a 
given that it should be avoided like the plague given how bad it was.

That being said, as bad as IE may be, websites still need to work with it 
properly.
