I use firefox myself, but...

Y'know what?

I *want* people to use a lot of browsers.

The more browsers people use, the less a threat ANY exploit is.

If there's a hole in Firefox (and there are and will always be, it's simply absurd to pretend otherwise), fewer people are going to be interested in exploiting it if it only has 20% of the users, say.

Same thing goes for IE. The more heterogenous the software used on the network is, the less a threat ANYTHING, and that's better for all of us.
