I suppose I will have to make another virtual machine to run yet another browser, and I've only just exhaled after IE5 leaving us.

I have an addin which runs all the IEs. It's called "IETester". What do people think of it?

You still test for IE5? Isn't that a bit like testing for NN4.7?

Developers more 'satisfied' with PHP than other codes

The poll makes no sense

The poll doesn't make sense. If they are polling about languages then what about c++, c#, java, vb.net, etc. [How did F# get an entry in there!!%#?]

If they are polling about 'scripting languages' then in what sense is PHP a 'scripting language'. PHP is a web-development framework, as such it should be compared with ASP.NET, Ruby, GWT and various Java frameworks. Of all the web developers I've polled - they all prefer GWT (in terms of ease of use, maintenability). The vast majority of developers don't have much experience with multiple web-development frameworks so only a tiny minority can be polled to say which is the best.
