I remember having to write so much bullshit code to make it look right on IE. I think by 2018, I got fed up with it and put it in my contract that I don't code for IE. And to my surprise, most companies were like, "Yeah we don't give a fuck about those users either." Either their metrics showed that IE users weren't buying, or they were a small segment not worth supporting.

And I never looked back.

Yeah, come to think of it, by the end of my tenure at 2013 I think I put in the header to advise the user to use a better browser. However, I'm pretty sure eventually, I was overruled on that.
