As a designer, you would be wise to use a browser which supports the
latest and greatest web technologies and specifications, so you can learn
them well in advance of IE's slowly increasing support for them. Things
such as SVG, CSS3, and canvas, which are due to radically change the way
the web looks once IE catches up.
Sure you can wait until there is widespread browser support before
learning these things, but by then so many developers will be ahead of
you, you will need to play catch up.
I know how you feel. IE feels nice, and displays pages the way you think
they should be displayed. But its lack of support for new technologies
cripples it as a developer learning tool, if nothing else.
