while i agree, i found microsoft's tortuous path to standards full of
dark corners.
case in point: some time ago, i was using some simple pages.
of course, to get them to work on IE6 & 7 i used excanvas.js, which
made a not-so-bad job. some things were missing, but it was doable.
also, on IE7 i preferred to use 'standards mode', since it made some
CSS and box layouts not as bad as IE6
when IE8 came out, i tried it. the new 'standards mode' was slightly
more standard CSS and box layouts; but excanvas.js just didn't work.
after some reading, i found that IE8 standards killed VML (the MS
alternative to SVG), which excanvas used to fake the canvas element.
finally, i had to force "IE7-standards mode" everywhere. effectively
disabling any IE8 advantage (nothing to weep about, fortunately).
tl;dr; in my case, IE8 is less useful than IE7
