This is a totally fair point, but should web development be driving with the
hand brake on because of users who have made this decision? Surely the way
forward is to build websites so that browser differences become an
irrelevance. Moving towards the separation of content from design using
XHTML, CSS and the like will mean that more pages will be legible in both
legacy and standards-compliant browsers (albeit with different styling and
functional capabilities).

It will work very well, as long as web development stays at the same level
as when Win95 / IE4.x was released.
