Competition is helping in the browser space
Well - it seems that Firefox might be getting itself a new, "less is more" UI. That looks to me like a direct response to IE 7. I've had problems with the beta I grabbed, but I do like the more minimal UI. It stays out of my way, and gives me more screen turf. This is good news, IMHO - it's no longer the case that MS is simply reacting to Firefox.

there's more than UI

Sadly IE is still holding the web back. Fixing the worst CSS2 and PNG bugs is simply not enough these days. I wouldn't be surprised if not even XHTML 1.0 worked with the final IE 7.
Of course future technologies like SVG, HTML 5/WebForms 2.0, XHTML 2, XForms, ... will be completly missing.
