Supporting ie6, ie7, and ie8 separately while developing on firefox just so we could use firebug.

I'm so glad Internet Explorer/Edge/Trident is Officially Over. If you told me in 2010 that in 10 years the worst browser I'd have to support was Safari/Webkit... I'd be overjoyed.

One thing (only thing?) I honestly miss about IE5.5-8 is how amenable the engine was to polyfilling. It wasn't fast, but you could do almost anything with the right polyfill technique.

No sessionStorage? Use window.name. No (then-) modern CSS? Use CSS3PIE [0]. IE doesn't support the transform CSS property? Use an *.htc behavior to convert the transform to a matrix filter.

It was madness, and it was beautiful in a Cthulhu kind of way.

I was on the "fuck ie6" train. I had to write some support for ie6 in like 2015, I almost quit the job.
