Not really. I worked on many sites to support IE6. Actually I cheered when I only had to support IE6 and above.
What killed IE for me is the developer experience. To get the value of a variable you had to:
alert(show_me_what_you_got) // [Object object]
Then some genius created a JS widget with an absolute positioned floating console that allowed me to inspect variables on a basic level.
Then came Firefox and it was a game changer for development. It was no wonder every web developer rooted for IE to finally die.
