And why would you prefer that a browser (IE) ignores standards nearly completely? There are dozens upon dozens of discrepancies, in the rendering of XHTML/CSS, between IE and FF. Why? Because IE throws the standards out the window, and even with a strict dt, IE does its own thing.
It's tough because a lot of us grew up coding for IE and their "standard", so I understand, but really there is no reason to support a browser that disregards standards. Obviously since their lack of compliance has lasted for so long they can't just flip a switch and start being compliant, and in their defense they are slowly (very slowly) moving towards compliance from what I have seen, but still what the hell.
On that note, I use IE and FF fairly equally.
