Nobody is forcing web developers to deliver equivalent experiences on older versions of Internet Explorer. Look at your statistics and make an informed decision about what you should care about. You may not have to care about anything but IE8. Or you may be able to deliver a simplified style-sheet and JavaScript to IE7 and below. Encourage your users to upgrade.
People have overreacted to the bad practices prevalent 15 years ago. "This site requires Internet Explorer," was folly, but so is, "This site looks and works exactly the same on everything from IE6 to the latest WebKit build." The former lets you build cool stuff but limits your audience, the latter keeps you from building cool stuff.
