> Without a second browser engine to test pages in, it's really hard to know what is a bug and what is intentional. Devs don't know all the specs by heart. They write whatever happens to work for them, but sometimes they accidentally depend on obscure edge cases in the implementation that were never meant to exist.

I know this isn’t everyone’s experience, but I believe adding IE11 support to my personal website improved the quality of my code.

There were a lot of things I hadn’t specified explicitly, and for whatever reason Chrome/Webkit and Firefox just happened to make the right guesses. IE11 did not, so I had to go back and be clear about exactly what I actually wanted.

The quality of the code could improve, true, yet I wish nobody the endless afternoons trying to debug code or fix the CSS in IE.
