IE 7

I've been using it since beta and I like it. The new interface takes some getting use to, but it's a lot better. I use it over Firefox.
 
new features, but it's still not very secure
vulnerability was found within 24 hours of its release

IE7 is okay, a definite improvement, but still less features than FF2.0
 
IE blows... If everyone would just use FF2.0 the world would be a perfect place where developers wouldn't have to worry about things looking right in Internet Explorer!
 
I wouldn't switch yet because the rendering engine is different and your CSS will actually work. Two months ago, I designed a site while using a beta of IE 7 and I checked on a computer with IE 6 a month later to discover the design was fucked for 80% of my users.
 
I worked on IE 7 when I was at Microsoft. It's alright. They are just playing catch-up. I haven't tried Firefox 2.0, but I've heard that it already puts IE 7 to shame.
 
I'm pissed with IE still because it still almost completely ignores web standards... IE6 was compatable with 52% of CSS, IE7 is 56% - so coding for IE is still going to blow ass...

Yeah, I'm wishing I hadn't installed IE7 yet because now I can't test designs on IE6 on my laptop. I should probably roll that back.

I'm assuming that if your coding works in FF and IE6, then it should work in IE7... so, if you use FF for browsing, I would stick with IE6 for testing purposes until your server logs show that IE7 has taken over.

I guess you could also hack it to have both versions installed.
 
I really hate Firefox, but I use it anyway. It has shitty feed management, and its memory management is so poor.

I use Opera sometimes, but some sites I need don't work.

Actually, you're wrong about that. You're just repeating bullshit that you read on the web without doing any real research. IE7 is way more compatable with standards than IE6.
