> IE10 is really good.
I feel like people have been saying that for every upcoming version if IE after IE6. It's kind of like how every new version of Android promises that they've "solved" smooth scrolling. I'll believe it when I see it.

IE10 has IndexedDB, another major feature for apps, which only Firefox has the correct implementation of.
Among other things, IE10 is not really behind any other browser except with regard to WebGL which is very unfortunate. Of course, IE10 is really good today, but might just be "good" a year from now, which its still the most recent IE version.
This is the problem with web development today. Until a feature is standardised enough that all of the major browsers support it or have a viable alternative available, none of these shiny new toys is really a change-the-way-you-develop type of feature for most people. In particular, no-one doing real work can use them unless they are lucky enough to be able to dictate which browser their customers/clients/colleagues should use.
Still, certain browser vendors persist in releasing a new version every five minutes with yet another pre-beta-quality add-in that no-one except a handful of Internet-famous web designers writing blog posts is going to care about. The IE team release less often, which personally I think is actually a very good thing in terms of stability and building real web sites/apps, but it doesn't make their exclusive features worth any more.
I'm surprised to hear that IE10 has IndexedDB and that support for it is so poor. That's useful information to know and I feel like I just found a blind-spot that I didn't previously. Thanks.

I saw it. Then I didn't. I don't know what to believe any more!
Have you tried an Android phone at any point in the last 12 months? I absolutely do not believe that you have tried an Android device that ships with ICS or JB.
