It still takes me a few beats from thinking "I need a flexible grid layout here" to remembering I can just use display:table, having spent so many years discounting it off-hand because of Internet Explorer.
As a fairly new web developer, who's doing it for fun, I'm so glad that I can just say "screw it, I'm using flexbox" for 99% of these sorts of problems!
What does IE have to do with this? Wasn't the whole anti-table movement a response to the abuse of <table>, <tr>, <td> HTML tags for layout? I can't think of any particular issue with Internet Explorer and display:table...
Sure, but IE 7 predated Chrome by 2 years. I'm not sure how IE 7 which has a global browser share roughly equivalent to Chrome 11, Firefox 3.6, Android 2.3 and Blackberry 7 has any relevance.
