Who still builds for it?
I think it still holds 25% of the browser market... obviously market dependent.When do you think you will stop accommodating for it?
personally I build for ie7, FF, & safari. opera & netscape on request and ie6 i create simple alternatives for....

its a pain in the arse but i think you have to if you're doing your job.
hate it though
!kicks bill gates (again)

yeah, still have to optimize for it. Depends on the application though...

Unless there's a good reason, like designing for a controlled audience (Intranet, distance learning app., etc.), then you really should still accommodate IE6.

Alot of large corporates still use it.
A client of mine works at one of the largest Ad agencies in the uk and they all still use IE6

i build in ff, and fix it till it works in safari/opera (which normally dont have to be fixed, actually i dont care a lot about opera) and for ie6, ie7 (which normally produces massive headaches). check on chrome too now.

most it manasgers in corporates r still using ie6 because a. they cant be arsed to go round everyones pc to update or b. theyre scared shitless of any security holes or c. they dont wanna have to support people with the new ui

Still design for it. I think that if you don't you could be limiting your potential audience. i would certainly say 25% is about the amount of people using it in my clients' world.
It's a pain in the neck though. I've only just stopped supporting IE5.5 so i count myself slighyly lucky!

I have to design for it. Like it or not, it still accounts for a huge amount of the market. I would like to not have to design for it but I guess with conditional stylesheets, it's nice and easy to keep all the hacks for it out of the way.

Still coding for it. But i consider it the bottom of the line. No netscape or IE5.5

its a real pain, we have had to develop a very "web2.0" system for a unstable browser that is "web 0.9b". Its causes real headaches and we are constantly trying to . Ive found that a lot of intranets and bespoke apps have to be built for ie6 because its the 'industry standard' so say the client.
