>>If a web site requires IE, it's broken, 'mmkay? Email the author and explain the problem.
Many websites were designed for IE in the first place, since most people use IE. Ever notice the little "this page was designed for IE x.0 and higher" messages at the bottom of webpages? I'm afraid webpage authors are not going to tweak their pages so third party browsers will work.
>>Hell, IE doesn't even do PNG properly.
I can view png images correctly with IE. What problems are you having? Could you post a screenshot?
>>The web will be a much better place if everybody stops using IE.
Why don't you like IE? Sure, it does not have many advanced features, but it was designed to be simple and user-friendly for the average computer user. It may not be the fastest browser out there, but it's not the slowest either. IMO, it's a fairly good browser, and I can't understand why you think it's such a piece of crap.
