The "Grade A" browser ratings are only slightly more meaningful than the "Modern Browser" label. And IE fans (apologists?) can rationalize from now until Sunday, but web developers who project after project are forced to write CSS Hacks, conditional comments, etc. know that improvements to IE have been slow and minimal. The "modern", standards compliant browsers are the ones that continue to improve and push the envelope re: HTML5/CSS3 features. All this talk about IE doing well by not adding HTML5 features because the W3 spec may change is just an excuse for continued suckiness. You'd think the fact that so many people (me not included) use IE give MS a greater pressure to keep pace with the Chromes and Safaris of the world, but I guess they don't agree.
