Physical viewpoints require thinking in terms of physical labor.  Screw 
that. ;)

Think about it from my perspective, though.  If I were an experienced 
web designer that knew of most of the quirks that IE had and how to 
easily write around them, I probably wouldn't have complained about it 
in the first place.

However, as someone who isn't a big fan of doing web design (mostly 
because of such quirks, really), I would much prefer it if it just 
worked so I could get the stinking page online without having to deal 
with any workarounds or hacks.

And yes, the fact that I dislike crude hacks in web pages but use them 
occasionally when I program (like that one time I hacked unsafe 
multithreading into a .NET app I was developing and it somehow managed 
to run quite stably without too much extra work) is kind of ironic, but 
that's a story for another bedtime. :P
