No web developer should be using Internet Explorer as their primary testing browser. As a development and testing environment, Firefox with Firebug is miles ahead of anything based on Internet Explorer. It is beyond me why web developers who know about Firefox with Firebug still choose to use Internet Explorer as their primary testing platform. Somebody, please illuminate.
Note that when I say 'primary' testing browser, I'm not saying 'exclusive' testing browser. Of course web pages need to be tested in all browsers that the shareholders care to support. I'm talking about the first browser you reach for when you want to see what the page you are developing looks and acts like. When the developer is happy how the page looks and acts in one browser, then she tests it on the others.
For those who use Internet Explorer as their primary testing browser, and want to make an argument, have you tried Firefox with Firebug?
