Developers who have to make ridiculous accommodations for issues that still have not been fixed ten years down the road certainly care.  If the user doesn't care, it's because the developer did his due diligence on the website and papered over IEs flaws so that they are transparent to the user.

But users should care that IE has had far more vulnerabilities than any of the other browsers.

Google Chrome is also pretty vulnerable, not because Google hasn't done their work making it untouchable, but simply because it is new and hasn't been combed through by *independent experts* enough yet.... but really, who doesn't use firefox? ;) oh... me :P
blaspheme, Firefox is the Best, and its allied with Buckler AND TGT :maul:

oh fo sho.... i just prefer safari because of a couple specific features that are not found in other browsers :)

IE's reputation is partly due to its popularity.  IE6 is still the most popular browser.  As Firefox gained serious marketshare over that last couple of years, it began to show some vulnerabilities that hackers are more interested in exploiting now that there are people to target.  Safari and Opera like to brag, but they've never had particularly big vulnerabilities because their user base isn't very big, and Chrome is just too new (but growing fast enough that they'll need to defend it soon).

I'm not exactly sure what's wrong with IE. I use it all the time (with Vista BTW), and I have no complaints. I've used Firefox as well, and it didn't seem any better to me.

ie is easier to target (hack).... normal use is close. it's kind of like forgetting to update your antivirus. your computer doesn't perform worse, UNTIL you get a virus

I doubt that would be the source of the issue.

I don't use it just because it's slow.

VPN stuff like that does tend to punch through security.  So do browser toolbars.
