I strongly believe that it is much easier to make Mozilla 100% IE compatible than to push millions of web sites with billions of web pages to be IE/Mozilla/Opera/etc compatible. Also I strongly believe that most guys who commented article are NOT web programmers because otherwise they will know how complexity of DHTML code rise if something other than IE also required. I'm not a snobby but while millions of Windows users will continue to use Windows (and they will are) they will continue to use IE (because it is far better for Win than Netscape/etc regardless of standard de jure incompatibility) and all site owners will continue to support IE as a must and include support for other browsers optionally only if budget will allow. So I think it's a time for Mozilla team to win "most compatible browser ever" name and include into the Mozilla not only standard de jure compatibility but also compatibility with standards de facto (IE). Including JavaScript object properties, object hierarchy and so on of course.
