Hello guys ...gimme a suggestion ..IE 9 is the hell or heaven ??

[telford001]

Well its hell for just being Internet Explorer, but on the plus side its rending pages better for me and it has css3 support now

[MikeChipshop]

It's better but still has some way to go.

[porkchops]

Still doesn't have text-shadow... that's a big downer since besides rounded corners that's the CSS3 property I use the most.

I love the IE7 and 8 modes though... on the right track... only 2 years too late.

What's the point though? By the time all browsers adopt text shadow design will have moved on and noone will want to use it. All seems like a waste of time to me.

It's not FireFox...............but it's ok, would be third on my list after FF and Chrome.

Only Really use IE to check clients sites.

No argument there. I'd be happy if IE died out all together.

It's Microsoft.
Always remember, this guy

A very cool calm man not being ultra cheesy at all

Is (was?) part of Microsoft. That's all you need to know

I second this! It's a shame IE still gets 25% of usage, though I think this will continue to decrease.

[vhluu]

Is it available on the Mac?

[tobo]

I would stick with IE 8 for now as IE9 works pretty good so 9 times out of 10 its IE8 you will need to fix bugs in!

[PhilipMClifton]

9 is still complete crap.

a well educated and reasoned response. Go on explain why it's complete crap.

[PhilipMClifton]

- It was released after crome and firefox and still doesn't support css3 well.
- Slow loading
- Still produces websites different from current mainstream browsers
- Addon / toolbars drastically slowing load.
- Notifications down the bottom, a stupid place to put them.

Shame we still have to use those horrible IE filters for text-shadow.

is supports css3 well enough especially considering that css3 is still to be ratified and some of the things are a waste of time to have.
slow loading? what machine are you running it on? I have it on a 5 year old laptop with 2Gb RAM and it's faster than Chrome.
all browsers give different results. I've heard about more bugs with FF4 than IE9. And most differences are down to poor coding and other browsers acceptance of poor code.
I don't care for add ons.
that's your preference, doesn't make the product crap. If that were the case then everyone would be saying every browser were crap.

[j05hr]

I thought it runs quite quickly compared to older versions of IE?

Have you seen the new version of Firefox? That seems quite a bit quicker too.

When I posted this i had just downloaded it and tried it out to find it complete rubbish, i am allowed my opinion.

Just emulate it - Grab Vmware or VirtualBox or just install Windows on your Mac.

(Response as an educated realist)
IE9 is alright; clean design and speed are in it's highlights but it still has some way to go with its rendering engine (it seems to mimic Chrome a bit). It needs to have more support for our JavaScript friends and platforms. The hardware acceleration seems to be just fine on Windows.

(Response as an experienced web designer)
I'd never recommend IE to anyone EVER; In my eyes its a waste [period][full stop] - Chrome and Firefox are MUCH better. Why do I have to code for IE 6 then code for IE7 and add a meta tag to render 8 and 9 the same way?

Madness.

Not doing the job correctly in the first place?
