He was the UI Designer for IE version 1 thru 5 and he just switched to Firefox (http://www.scottberkun.com/blog/?p=115) .


And yet again, I'm still flummoxed that even by your own admission, IE7 won't be superior to FF, yet you're still cheering for IE.


A real "Technology Expert" should be able to pick the right "best-of-breed" solution for the customer.


Otherwise, you're no better than a car salesman.


If Scott can do it, why can't you?

    I'm not "cheering for IE" --- I'm just stating a fact. In order for Firefox to survive, it has to be far superior to IE, because of Microsoft's marketing muscle, and the fact that IE comes installed on every Windows PC in the world.

    I'm a big fan of Firefox and use it and recommend it all the time, and would like to see it thrive --- I've written that frequently. But ignoring the fact that IE will squash Firefox unless it's far superior to IE isn't the way to help Firefox --- telling the truth is.
