Masses of developers, that is.
Some of us have been pining for better standards support. Some of us have been pining for improved JavaScript handing. Most of us have been pining for something.
The IE team have promised to save us all.
I installed IE8 Beta last week, and so far it’s been a good experience. Crashes less than FireFox 3, retains an IE 7 compatibility mode and has some interesting new features tucked away.
They’ve extended the “IE Developer Toolbar” somewhat – it’s becoming more like FireBug, which is a good thing. Of course IE 8’s JavaScript handling will be more “normal”, but it’s still nice to have built-in debugging — just in case!
Before IE8 runs on the machines of the real masses it will have proven itself useful to web developers.
