AOL's plans for boosting Netscape market share hinge on the possibility of introducing Netscape as the basis for the integrated AOL Web browser

Considering that AOL has owned Netsacpe for a while, there are obviously good reasons they still use IE as their browser engine. As a professional web developer both Lotus/Domino applications and static HTML content I wouldn't care if Netscape went away all together. It has been nice developing for one platform that works every time, rather than developiong two verions of everything. One for IE, one for Netscape. For IE just add the feature to the site or app and go. With Netscape tweak the code for hours just trying to get a table or some other simple feature to display just how you want it. Netscape lovers, Opera lovers, Mozilla lovers, Gecko lovers....FLAME AWAY!

I agree, I have been doing websites for years and I hate it when I have to test out every page to see if there is nothing messed up on the site when viewed on NetScape

If you're a professional web developer (so am I) then you know the reason IE works so easly is because it allows BAD CODE to pass. At least netscape didn't let you get away with that, which I think was a GOOD thing. The problem with both browsers (although they've all gotten better) was adhering the the W3C standards.
