Because IE lags behind every other browser and breaks web standards in the process (requiring web developers to build a special version of their website for each version of IE, plus the main one for everything else), supports ActiveX (BAD!), is feature-poor and lacks the kind of extensibility of both Chrome and Firefox.
Though in all fairness,
IE11 Gives Microsoft A Shot At Browser Redemption. But they have been pathetic for so long that every other browser out there has done something weird called innovating. Recent versions of IE may have improved core rendering to the point where it is
now actually possible to browse normally with it, but the competition has been developing cool new features instead of recreating their whole browser as standards-compliant, and in the meantime tons of people have jumped ship.
And I think I will still keep Chrome/FF until Microsoft creates a linux version of IE that I can sync settings to. And allow syncing on Win7. And profiles.
And until Microsoft stops lying about whether or not an HTTPS connection is really secure. See
HERE and more importantly
