I like IE7 a lot. It has some places to improve upon, but so does FF. As far as Vista goes, when it comes out I may not have a need to install FF.

From my post in this thread concerning an adblocker for IE7, here is a list of add-ons I like to use with IE7:

Here is how I get by with using IE7 (Im pretty sure most of these work in IE6, if that's what you are using):

Admuncher
Inline Search
Google Toolbar for easy management of my GoogleBookmarks
Google Preview
SiteAdvisor

There is one extension for FF that I find priceless, and that's Browser Sync.

ditto. as far as I'm concerned, IE7 = too late, too little. I'm already sold on FF
 
I wouldn't recommend IE7. When trying to install it on other people's machines, I've had maybe a 30% success rate of it actually installing and not erroring out - so I just say screw it and go back to IE6. Plus a lot of websites with special plugins or what-not that work fine in IE6 no longer work in IE7. And, IE7 has dropped support for some css properties, like the page-break properties I've noticed.
 
IE7 is like a cheap poorly done imitation of what Firefox used to be...

Opera, well, that another story all together.

Firefox is still the best overall browser out there, which is why it always wins any poll done here.
