Dear Internet Explorer…

I’ve cheated on you. Many times. And I loved it.

For many years I have been one of your strongest supporters and proponents even when I knew little about my other options. I love most things Microsoft but you make it nearly impossible for me to love you anymore.

I zig, you zag.
I bob, you weave.

While I do believe in monogamy I think you should allow me to bring in others that will help me which in turn helps you.

Help me help you.

The things that I need do not seem to be that far fetched as your competition has them or at least allows others to fill the gap.  When I want to see all of the included JavaScript and CSS files I can you JSView. When I want to do ANYTHING with JavaScript, CSS, or the DOM I can use Firebug. When I don’t want my browser to crash or hog my system I can run any other browser.

I find that the only time I need you is for corporate purposes and testing for ill-informed users. I am sad to say this but I think we need to take a break and for once it’s you; not me.

Sincerely,
Luke
