So it just continues on. You implement something and it's going to work in all browsers but will require specific tweaks and workarounds for IE.
Business as usual.
The only thing that changed is the nature of the needed workarounds (fix broken canvas instead of fix missing canvas), so that IE9 just brings more frustrating work to the table. One more special case to handle.
In the application I'm maintaining, we have CSS and JS to make the thing work in real browsers and then one file for each version of IE to handle their specific bugs.
As it's looking now, IE9 won't improve on the situation, but just require two more files (CSS, JS) to fix the new, IE9 specific issues, thereby increasing the development time of any new feature because one more special case must be handled.
Why can't Microsoft just get their act together. This is so dammed frustrating
