All people who create dread the moment when someone trashes their work. Musicians, movie directors, or software engineers anticipate reviews and varyingly rejoice or are laid low by the choice words of their critics.
Of course, call a spade a spade. IE debugging and testing sucks. The developer experience is crap. Everyone knows it. But there's constructive criticism, and then there's wholesale burn-down-the-house rage. The truth is, the IE team is listening, and they want to get better. Lord knows we all do. I sure hope they do, it'll be a service to everyone. Those that know me well know my online alter ego is typically rantfoil. It was one of those relics of teenage years, when I first signed on to AOL Instant Messenger and needed a screen name. Well, rant I did. These days, I try not to rant as much because it's not healthy. Not for me, and not for really anyone. Thanks to Jeff and Ravi and my old Microsoft colleagues. The troll is me. I can only hope to do better tomorrow.
