I don't use tables to display my data, and those screenshots up there are from IE7, not even IE6. All my CSS and xhtml validates. IE still cannot handle it properly on occasion.

Usually this isn't a problem, I'll agree. However IE has very publicly fought proper and full acceptance of any W3C recommendation since the days of Netscape, and that's what I really hate about them.

This is do agree with you on. Microsoft is always trying to 'do there own thing', not follow the standards.

It's not too hard to support IE6 honestly, the biggest annoyance I've run into and absolutely despise is it's lack of support for PNG alpha transparency. Other than that I've done, and seen, a lot of rather spiffy designs that degrade gracefully if you're using valid xhtml and css. Or at least mostly valid.

I seriously love that part of IE6. I can't remember why, I just do.

Grey backgrounds are lovely :P

You only need to include some JavaScript to fix it though.

That Javascript doesn't work well; it messes up the images.

That depends on the pngfix you use, this one is the one even MSDN uses, and it seems to be working alright:

Internet Explorer sucks. Period.

I just went through the pain again to create GIF-versions of my PNG images. Just for IE6. I did try PNG fixes before, but I find them not reliable if I could make them work in the first part.

I just ran into another Internet Explorer amazing 'enhancement'. Apparently they felt it necessary that form buttons (input submits, and buttons) should automatically be padded depending on the size of the button. So the longer the text, the more padding it'll add to each side and the top, based on a percentage.

You can fix this by adding

Code:
width: auto;
overflow: visible;
...but the point is you shouldn't have to fix it.
