That's funny, 90% of my Wiki users are on IE, and nary a problem. Perhaps if
you were to, oh, I don't know, list specific issues, you might get some
actual solutions.
But I don't think you particularly want solutions in this case, because then
they make your rant of no value.

Broken how? Again, I'm not seeing "broken" in Mac OS X 10.5 any more than I
did in Mac OS X 10.4.
Call me old fashioned, but saying there's a problem without any details
means you want a magic spell, not an actual solution.

How about "Please provide actual useful details on your problems so that the
other members of this list have something to go on other than "THIS SUCKS!"
I cannot speak for your world, but in mine, "THIS SUCKS" is not useful data,
unless it's coming from a 4 year old, or an episode of "Beavis and
Butt-head"

It makes his description worth exactly what yours was: Nothing. Again,
details? Neither you or the OP provided a single.bit.of.useful.data.
That makes it a rant, and if you're going rant, then put that in the
subject, so it can be properly deleted and ignored. If you want actual help,
then use your grownup words, and provide useful technical information to the
list. You'll get better results that way.
However, if this is how you go about getting help, then I'd prefer you go
back to whatever environment wherein useless rants with no informational
value magically result in useful answers to unstated problems. It seems a
better fit.
