Most Netscape "problems" I have seen are the result of bad coding, such
as leaving out table tags. Shouldn't we code correctly? I first test in
Netscape. If it works there it almost always works in IE. The vast
majority of sites don't have any functions that can't work in both
browsers, it just requires proper and correct programming.

BTW, there are government offices where Netscape is still the standard.
It is not just a few leftover users.

I agree with both sides of this argument. I would, being a Macintosh
user and a Libran...

But is it the developer's job to decide what platforms a solution is
built for? That should be dictated by the client, based on cost and
audience

And I think it's at that point that developers should then lobby to
build in support for all platforms and for all users. A 93% share is a
difficult number in every way - it might tempt some clients to ignore
the 7%, but then we're all going to end up at the mercy of Microsoft.
Not somewhere I want to be!

Interesting that the non-Microsoft browser share is bigger than the
Apple share of the PC market. Food for thought!
