The announcement makes it seem that they are proud of how many questions are out there about IE issues.
* tag [internet-explorer]: 27,934 questions
* tag [google-chrome]: 28,153 questions
Since the number of questions is your metric for attributing shame, that surely imply that chrome is much worse than IE, especially considering the long legaccy and larger install base of IE vs Chrome...
Or, I don't know, could it be possible that the number of questions reflects more than just how bad a piece of software is?
SO is 6 years old
[google-chrome] [google-chrome-{version}] [google-chrome-extensions] (4,194 questions) [Chromium] (893 questions) + Chrome on Linux, Mac and Windows.
Chrome also contains extensions, that would explain why there are a lot of more questions about "Chrome" + i think more tech-savaged people prefer Chrome to IE (because of dev tools), so SO wouldn't be a good reference for an objective market share view.
