The way I feel about it is if you're running a MAC, or a PC with Linux, then using an alternative browser is fine. But the Windows operating system is designed and built around Internet Explorer; it's ingrained at a very low level (low meaning basic). Why would you want to screw with that by layering another browser on top of it? It just doesn't make any sense to me.
Initially, I wasn't that impressed with Firefox, but then I discovered their AdBlock add-on. I HATE websites that have animated ads that are bouncing and flashing while I'm trying to read. For most websites, I can't use IE any longer because I'm so spoiled by the lack of intrusive junk when browsing with Firefox.
