“…Still they don’t support box shadows or round corners…”

Dude, what are you talking about? Did someone leave an auto-commenting engine on in a loop? IE9 definitely supports both box shadows and round corners! As a user, IE9 is pretty close to the other browsers in terms of rendering and even javascript speed.

Now as a developer, I don’t like that IE9 doesn’t support round corners with a background gradient at the same time, and in fact makes it look worse than IE8 and IE7 – hopefully that will be fixed in IE10. And it’s about time for text-shadow support.

But basically the days of “hours of CSS adjustments” are over if you don’t have to support IE < 9. And the world is much better with the CSS3 support that IE9 has than if it was still like it was in IE8 or IE7.

It’s been almos 2 years since “Microsoft announces css3 support for IE9″ and still some features are not working.
What have they been doing all this time?
Is it really something so hard to integrate in a browser?

IE is a nightmare, I wish everyone in the world would just stop using it then it would save everyone hours of CSS adjustments. Still they don’t support box shadows or round corners

IE9 = No rounded corners
IE9 = No gradient shading support
IE9 = No text-shadows.
IE9 = Still sub-par security.
IE9 = Usual steaming pile of shit.

Microsoft, PLEASE GIVE UP, it’s obvious you cannot make a browser that co-exists with the web-development community. On top of that, if you had any sense of responsibility you would have warned all those public sector organisations that continue to use older versions of IE that they are brutally exposed to XSS attack vectors.

IE is an abortion. Always was, always will be.

Well… Avoid using border-radius:whatever; on input fields for IE9. They seem to be fine everywhere else.

Still problematic browser.

… no transitions either

In the process of making apps and sites IE6 compatible, Microsoft has been wasting millions of man hours worldwide. Entire developer nation should sue MS for this atrocity.
