So far, each and every thing that didn't work in IE was a genuine bug in my Code, and often Chrome and Firefox just silently swallow/auto-correct the error. Maybe I just haven't ran into any issues - the style issue for example would be a non-issue as I'd prefer server-side combining and compressing, but who knows, maybe I'll run into these issues at some time. But so far, I'd rather work with a browser that reliably errors out than with browsers that decide to do their own stuff without telling me. As said, for me it's the exact opposite.

I'd happily take 50k/yr to develop in Firefox or Chrome vs. 450k/yr to develop in IE. Just look at the number of IE bugs you'd have to deal with first hand (even if you knew they existed!) http://webbugtrack.blogspot.com/search/label/IE IE has a 10:1 bug ratio versus ALL other browsers combined! Like they say, If you'd been developing for most of the last decade you would have already given up on IE... if you haven't... you haven't been doing it long enough!
