Well, I can't say I don't feel a bit sad. It was a piece of crap that only got worse as time goes by, but...it was still a piece of crap that's been with me through long and hard since the beginning.
RIP. It wasn't your fault. It's Microsoft's fault for being incompetent asses that can't keep up with time or customer demands.
The newer IEs are actually pretty good, it's just that the brand itself is tainted beyond saving (as you can see right here). I wouldn't be surprised if the new project inherits a significant chunk of IE (probably not Trident, though).
Now, an MSDN blog post says that Microsoft is making the Spartan and Internet Explorer split even more pronounced. Spartan will still get the Edge engine, but it will drop the legacy Trident rendering engine completely. Internet Explorer keeps Trident—and, crucially, its compatibility with sites designed for IE 5.5 or later—but it will no longer be able to use the new Edge engine. Microsoft says that including the new Edge engine in IE would introduce compatibility problems even without removing Trident.
Damn this sucks! I've been using Internet Explorer for as long as I can remember and I can't recall ever having a single problem with it so I don't know what all these "issues" are that everyone is talking about...

Majority of the rant goes from web designers. You've just never tried to make a mildly complex website look and behave the same way in all major browsers. Guess which one requires most work.

You know, given that HTML is supposed to be a web STANDARD, it begs the question as to how the unimpeachable fuck you could even remotely deviate from it.

It's more about the ability of a web browser's engine to be up to speed with the latest refinements & improvements to HTML, so it can render pages which make use of them correctly. IE was always pretty far behind the curve in that regard... let's not forget the fiasco that was IE6.

back into 1990s when the dominant browser was netscape, there was a browser war wgere every browser create its own dedocated features that can only be view properly on their own browser if website developer used them, as they want users switch to them because of those extra features.
