Won't miss it. I worked in healthcare for a time in 2008. There was no convincing a hospital system to change away from IE9 for ~2000 workstations. The bug was in css and related to the number of inline style tags in the html. After 31 inline style tags (!!??), IE ignores the rest. So we tediously move all inline style tags to css files and notice styles are still not being applied. IE stopped parsing the css file after 4095 rules. We split the single file into two files and problem solved. Not sure how the previous dev team decided inline styles were a good idea, but it may have been related to the max 4095 css rules issue. At any rate, glad I don't have to deal with crappy code like that anymore.
A Senior Developer working mostly with PHP and JavaScript, with a bit of Python thrown in for good measure, all on Linux. My tooling is simple, it's GitLab and JetBrains where possible.
The 4095 css rule in IE was always a great one to debug. Having to split CSS files at a specific point on a build (or in one case, after build) made for interesting work.
Bizarrely, the whole world seems to be all for chunking assets into smaller files now. Maybe IE was just ahead of its time.
