Pretty funny, though I am too cynical nowadays not to suspect that these memes were created by Google as marketing ploys.
I actually often have the exact same problem but the other way around, spending ages getting something to work in IE and then realize that it does not quite work in Chrome and FF.
This morning I just realized that my javascript redirects only work in IE because I was using window.location = 'newURL', but it turns out in Chrome and FF you need to write window.location.href = 'newURL' . Whereas in IE it works both ways, in FF and Chrome you need to make it more specific.
Anyway that is just one example of many where javascript stuff works easier in IE than other browsers.
