4. 60% market share
Its usage share now sits at approximately 50% to 60% and is trending downward. Microsoft spent over $100 million a year on IE<1> in the late 1990s, with over 1,000 people working on it by 1999.<2> As of 2010 IE has been attacked numerous times by hackers, malwares or some kind of security flaws such as software bugs, therefore many security experts consider it as the most vulnerable browser.<3><4><5>

5. I do.
I used to use Firefox mostly, but got tired of being told I needed a plug-in, clicking to install the plug-in, then being told I needed the same plug-in again. I got tired of spending half my time on the Internet learning about a browser instead of browsing. Meanwhile, IE had stolen enough stuff from Firefox (tabs mostly) that it was more useable for me. I'm sure there's some esoteric reason FF is so much better, but I don't care. I just want to click on the damn link and get everything to work.

I have Opera, FF, IE, and Chrome right now, and have played with a few others. If I bothered to learn another one right now, it would be Opera. FF is just an arrogant pain in the ass almost every time I try to use it these days.

Then again, one good piss-off, and I may dump IE again. I don't get emotionally vested, I just use what gets me where I'm going easiest.
