Those comments don't show up in IE, just an FYI


Django doesn't want feedback from IE users. Show me an IE user with something intelligent to say!


Oh come on let's get off our high horse and accept the fact that there will be people who are going to use IE no matter what. I believe it is our job as web developers ergo Hackers to try very very hard to make our software easy to use as much as possible and make it work on the widest variety of browsers as much as possible. Which means staying up late at night to find a way for our apps work on all major browsers including IE. When I develop I have four browsers open at the same time (FF, IE7, Opera and Safari). Yeah I know it pisses us off to no end when IE doesn't play nice (which will always do in some point). But I can't just go to sleep when I find a bug in my software...no matter how small or big it is.


"when I find a bug in my software"

Hrmm... for me, mostly it's a case of finding bugs in IE, and creating work-arounds in my own code.


dude, he was joking.


That might explain why Ruby on Rails is kicking Django's behind despite the fact that more people code in Python than Ruby


Have you seen trends? My echo chamber makes it seem like Django is growing quickly -- faster than RoR.

Are there good resources tracking this?

I'd be more interested in counting active developers than deployed sites. Trends on mailing list usage might be a good measure.


They break after a while in Opera.
