Bacicaly it's not up to us to decide which is the best browser....Thats up to the surfer..It is our job as web designers to develop sites that work in both Firefox and IE (and others). If that makes our job harder then so be it. We have to produce products based on consumer needs not what we think.
After all it is our clients proffits and money we are talking about here, if their site is turning away customes because it breaks apart and dosen't work in the browser the customer is using, then what does that say about our interest for our clients. This is why we need a regulated standard. That way if you preferr IE use it, but at least you will know that you site will display exactly the same way in other browsers. The only thing stopping this happening is Greed, Egos and stubborness. Until web designers and browser developers realiase there has to be compromise we will forever and a day be fighting the browser wars.
