But what about for those who are less experienced in web programming and instead are picking up bits and pieces from all sources and just hacking away at pre-existing templates and then only to find out all the nice new things you’ve learnt and added to your themes etc have basically just turned for the worse being viewed in IE6 which doesn’t support halve the nice modifications you’ve made.

If people use it, then so be it, because it’s there choice

Or they work for a large corporation or government agency which still uses IE6 in their standard operating environment. Luckily, I run the web team, so I get to use Firefox, but the other 6000 people in my Department are stuck with IE6…

Of course, as a web developer, I can’t wait for IE6 to die!
