Really now?
I use Netscape for a few reasons.
- Responses to my actions are immediate - there is no lag in actions as there is in IE
- Right click menus don't take five seconds to pop up like IE
- New windows don't take five secodns to open like IE
- It uses less system resources per window than IE (when I was running Win98 - I'm on Win2k now and don't need to worry about that)
- It crashes less than IE!
This, of course, is on my computers.... Even with it crashing once or twice a day, Netscape is SITLL more stable, faster, and generally more versitile than IE, in my experience.
Yeah, the rendering engine is aincient, but that doesn't matter.
Oh, and FYI... up to 25% (or 30%+) of the web still uses Netscape as their primary browser. Just because your current audience uses IE more than Netscape doesn't mean there won't be a shift.
You should also be testing in Mozilla. Unless you're using silly MS extensions, your website should work and look IDENTICAL in IE and Mozilla.
The idea here, of course, is to ALWAYS use 100% W3C complaint XHTML when designing pages. That way you NEVER need to worry about what your site looks like, as it must, by definition, look like you describe it.
