I use conditional comments for IE-specific CSS rules, but I find them an invaluable tool in other applications as well. One nice thing about Aptana, the web IDE, is that you can wrap code in conditional comments. They even have a way to do downlevel commenting that doesn't break validation. I forget the exact syntax (it's pretty hairy!) but basically it wraps the downlevel if and endif statements in comments, while leaving what's inside of them outside of the comment (so other browsers see it). This is useful if you want to say "if not IE" ... My colleague Alex wrote an article about this on our blog <a href="http://www.thetruetribe.com" rel="nofollow">The True Tribe</a>. Nice post.

I will probably use it a lot more. Well, if you ask me: IE totally sux… But this is probably the best feature of IE. I will probably use it a lot more.
