I use IE7 almost exclusively apart from giving any web development i do a once over with Firefox to make sure it works.

Now that both sides of the "best browser" tedium have realised it was crappy web development that led to "this site designed for IE 4.00067.5.4" or "works best with Netscape 6.0342.1" and have sorted themselves out and stopped making ridiculous websites it's largely immaterial.

I used Firefox a lot before IE7 came out, because i really liked the tabbed browsing the built in search and the internal find on demand. But since IE7 has two of those i now never use Firefox. The other thing is because there are still some bad websites out there, you still need to have IE lying around for when they won't work with Firefox et al (FF even has an add-on to quickly open the page in IE!). So, if i have to have it as a back-up why bother using anything else in the first place?
