As a software developer i ask this:
Use Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, Tor, or even program your own browser, but please stop using IE :'(
If I'm a "software developer", I would identify the bugs and improve or fix it.
My IE works fine on everything, except CR. I do home Chrome, however, I've been using IE since........ :
I have lot of sites under favorite.
That's easier said than done, the problem with IE is that during most of it's lifetime it was outside the standards, other browsers tried to follow the standards while IE (Aka. Microsoft) made their own, which meant more work for developers, and with each new version of IE they fixed something and broke another, in recent versions (IE 10-11) they have done a better job at following the standards and so less work is needed, still for the past pains it caused the developer community we still hate it.

I USE IE for CR and have no jumping. I use a ad blocker which is likely why I see no issue.
I am also a Chrome and Mozilla user, and use the Browser that works best with each site. They all have problems with certain sites. I create shortcuts to frequently visited sites which use the browser that works best. I use Chrome for Fred Miranda, and Mozilla for my NAS control panels and my Router control panel. I just signed up for HBO GO, and, so far, Mozilla works, but Chrome plays it smoothly and is the best. IE does not like it at all.
Its mostly a function of the programmers, they seem to favor one browser, and tune their site for it. That's likely also a reflection of which authoring tools they use.
I follow the same approach, if a thing need ActiveX i use IE, else Firefox unless it has a problem then Chrome, the reason for favoring a browser - which only applies to IE - is that the majority of the internet population used only IE for a long period of time, which made it less worthy to care about other browsers, however with HTML 5 taking the stage that is changing, all browsers are trying their hardest to follow the standards, yes there are still tweaks targeted for IE, Firefox, Chrome, or Safari but there are frameworks that take care of that.
