Is firefox 1.5 the number 1?

I had trouble with IE rendering of the basic roller scheme. Because I'm using mostly firefox , I didn't noticed it.
Then I become curious, how many visitors actually use the IE. The table below is a condensed view of the visitors in the first week of august 2006 (please ignore the third item - are my Java-experiments :-)) :

As you can see, it seems like Firefox is the mostly used browser, at least in the Java/development/software engineering space.

Comments:

I think Firefox ist #1 if you want to develop a webapp. I cannot work without tools like LiveHTTPHeader, WebDeveloperToolbar, Greasemonkey and "RSS"-ToolXY anymore ;)

I like simply the "tab"-browsing (I remember also the old "navigator" days using firefox). But the statistic is really amazing. I will run the statistic at the and of august and publish the results again.
