I did for a time. I'm a Linux-only user, and I wanted to apply for a job at a major university where I live.
The only browser the site worked on was IE. So I installed IE under PlayOnLinux/WINE.
After I applied, I found the site worked on Midori, so I downloaded that and scrapped IE. -
rohbaert307yWorking on Linux and needing to check compatibility on IE and Edge is a huge pain in the ass.

Fully pledged linux user here. I always install IE7 to my wine prefixes, to check some compatibilities for my small website.
Also, some applications ( mostly pre 2010 ) require IE to get data from internet, so its almost a must, unfortunately :(
