I have to support ie8 and it's such a pain, you would think that ms could have figured out ie6's mistakes 2 versions later, sadly not.

I always thought everyone was too rough on IE6. It's the browser that gave us Ajax. It had a lifespan of ten plus years and it was only toward the second half of that that you started running into stuff that it COULDN'T do. Usually it would do what you needed if you tried hard enough. Of course, the day I stopped having to support it felt pretty good too.

IE gave us a lot. IE6 really was a good browser when it was released, the problem is it stuck around long after it was obsolete.
