Er, having cleaned out my mailbox prior to seeing the other responses,
I apologize if this has already been covered.
Whether or not I want to port an application to IE depends upon whether
or not I want to give up the benefits of Mozilla and Firefox.
Specifically, if I am trying to develop a serious application and not
just "another Web app", XUL is a very powerful tool. I've only had the
opportunity to work with it on one project, but when I did, it made my
life much easier. When the company saw what I could do with XUL, they
simply said "no IE."
Of course, the company is now bankrupt, but that's another story :)
Cheers,
Ovid
