Internet Explorer is too bad to be used

Common knowledge for web developers is: developing for IE is hardest. It's because Microsoft decided they don't like the way standards are going, so they won't quite follow them.
For example, typeint.com looks rather nice in most browsers. It was developed for Firefox, so it's obviously best there, but most display correctly.
However, IE doesn't. Prior to my recent change, this is what it looked like in IE9:
TypeINT.com in IE9 looks horrible.

So now, if you are using IE, you are spared from the horror of viewing this, and instead are redirected to an IE warning page. It includes the classic image of the FF logo eating the IE logo.

So, people who are still using IE (probably because you don't know better), it's time to start browsing! The future of the World Wide Web is coming, and IE is not a part of it (yet).
