    I would've thought most people go from IE to Firefox initially, then get tired of all the bloated addons and move onto Chrome; I know I did. Still, IE is going to remain dominant for a very long time, simply because most of its users are not that computer-savvy, and therefore either don't know they have a choice, or they'll stick with it because they don't like change.
    This is quite a good represention of it in my opinion.

    I too moved from IE to Firefox a while back. But like you said , got annoyed with the slow loading times and bloat. Moved to Chrome but had to keep IE as Chrome doesn't work 100% of the time. We still have Firefox too as the other half uses this.

    Its a bit silly to decry firefox's flexiblilty and number of add ons TBH

    Its the firefox users habit of installing 500 add-ons that's the problem, not firefox itself.
    Install just one or two addons and firefox is probably the best of all.

    Chrome while fast, suffers from having weird rendering on many sites - I ended up going back to firefox.

    Same, went to Chrome, got sick of the poor file association handling of it, just not working with most the sites I go on and use so went back to FF. Although using IE9 preview, if they tweak that more for the final release I could well switch to that and wait and see what FF and Chrome do in the future.

    These days, to me, a browser is a browser. I will use the one that gets the job done for the site in question
