Simple. Because it's not feasable, or even possible, to ban IE. You
would never get "every web developer" together, as a large number WORK
for MS. Then you have the thousands of companies, world-wide, who only
use MS products, therefore their IS/IT departments only design for
IE.

While I understand the angst (I tend to work the other way - wrong by
many's standards - building my site to work in IE, and finding the
problems in FF, and believe me, it's just as hard to go that way as
the other), isn't it just a tad unrealistic to even consider this an
option?

Just a question.
