It actually takes effort to make a site dependent on a particular set of browsers. It's rather easy to make one that works in all of them.

Uh.... no. I wish that were the case.

With IE7, CSS is a bit less of a mess and png supports transparency, but that's about it.

IE's DOM is still awful. Trying to get AJAX to work on all browsers as well as IE is a nightmare. What's even worse is that IE still doesn't support XML namespaces, so all the cool XML based stuff like XHTML, XForms, XUL, XBL, SVG and many others can't be used.

IE still parties like it's 1999.
