I'm a devoted IE user (this should come as no surprise). My main reasoning for promoting IE is the management features included that are particularly very nice when in a domain environment. I have done such things as:

* Set up home pages and populated favorites with imporant URLs.
* Approved and deployed activeX controls so each user would have them ready to go.
* Set proxy server settings to all machines.
* Hidden parts of the UI from users.
* Pre-populated trusted sites.

I do admit to getting quite upset with Microsoft back in the IE days and fully agree that allowing the IE team to be disbanded years ago was one of MS's greatest mistakes ever. My faith was restored with IE7 and continues to be with IE9.
