There's no winning on this.

If the m-dollar guy shows examples in IE, people will say "Doesn't work in other browsers, does it? Typical Microsoft bubble." If the m-dollar guy shows demos in Chrome, people will say "Ha, even this guy doesn't use IE."

So then you either have to show demos in both, which is silly, or you just ignore this because it comes up every. single. time.

Source: I like a lot of web browsers and do some web demos and work for m-dollar.

It appears to be dormant and has never been used.

I guess you weren't aware that Hanselman also owns an iPhone :P

I'll also echo what everyone else said. I feel the only reason IE is staying around is so I have something to download Chrome with on a fresh installation.

You should see all the non-MS things that shanselman uses and is aware of. But shhhhhhh, Microsoft would have his hide if they found out.

If you think there is irony, you haven't been paying attention. It's the point of what's been happening.

This ain't your older sister's Microsoft.

It's actually very common for MS devs to use Chrome. I was at a talk given by Mads Kristensen recently (PM for ASP.NET Tooling), and he used Chrome.

Good catch, but not terribly surprising. Developers don't use IE except when they have to test for non-standard behavior. IE hopefully will soon go the way of the dodo - I no longer see any reason for it to exist.

I used to feel the same way, but recently IE has become an absolute necessity for me. You see, I own a Windows Phone :)

They have some pretty decent dev tools in IE 11 such as the memory profiler.
