I'm sick of seeming posts like this. No one else can tell you if IE matters to your site. You (I hope) have statistics on who uses your site you can see if a significant part of your community uses IE6. If it's less than 10% maybe you could consider running an upgrade message, if it isn't suck it up.
Posts like this that try to generalise the web together are nonsense. They can suggest trends, but then Yahoo still supports IE6 and they have a pretty large % of the web using Yahoo.com.
Mostly it seems like a bunch of people moaning because Web development is hard. That's true. IE6 does not make me happy, that's not an excuse to shaft users. If CIO magazine can give CIOs a compelling reason to upgrade all their legacy machines, now that is something I'd like to read about.

You could easily spend your time supporting IE6 and instead spend it on usability tests to better support different user demographics. Users are more than browsers.
