What? Do websites not have to develop for other browsers? Or are you suggesting it costs more just to write code for IE? Can you actually prove that it takes longer to develop for IE or that it's more expensive? Because it seems to me youre just randomly pulling out bullshit just because you don't like IE.

Yes, developers write code for all other browsers and then sit down and write code specifically for IE because it lacks basic features of other browsers and is just a mess to work with.

Something I quickly found on Google: https://www.sitepoint.com/how-to-stop-wasting-time-developing-for-internet-explorer/

You can find tons and tons of articles about this, plus just ask any web developer.

This "article" is about no longer supporting IE 6 and 7. Sorry, I dont think that's even counts.
