Hmm, polyfills… I prefer the good old school conditional comments to load an 'IE8' or 'oldIE' specific stylesheet. If you use SASS or similar preprocessors, it is relatively trivial to set up your system to generate such a stylesheet. And it cuts down on the amount of JS oldIE has to process, which is good for performance. That is similar to what Tom Livingstone described upthread. In general, on the debate between 'mobile first' and 'desktop first', I go with the former, that is, building a stylesheet upwards from the simple to the more complex. The term 'mobile first' is a bit of a misnomer, though. I prefer to frame the whole thing in terms of viewport sizes. That also means that someone who has a huge 'desktop' monitor but a narrow browser window will see a different layout than someone with a larger window.
