Most of what I've seen people put into ActiveX and .NET can be done otherwise by clever developers and still be standards compliant or at least, cross-browser-compliant.

If you need to write proprietary code that is browser specific you are not adhering to web standards. either it is important or it isn't, no fence-sitting allowed..

What developer on this planet is going to take advantage of a feature thats been put into IE and not Mozilla?

Alas, all too many... can you say "ActiveX"? how about ".NET"? Whatcha gonna do when boss/client demands some glitzy gizmo found on some IE-only site? I mean universal access is a wonderful ideal, but let's face it, it's still a pretty hard sell.

And to be fair, M$ has put forward the occasional useful innovation...
