When I meet with investors all they talk about is traction and traffic. If you have enough there are no more meeting, no calls, no demos. You get funded, no questions asked. IE is no longer 90% of the market, but it's still the biggest browser by market share. There are many early adopters, but not anywhere as much as regular users. Regular users make the bulk of any popular site/webapp's traction, and most of them use IE, period. A few years from now when IE becomes just another competitor and not the market leader we wont need to develop for it, and that might actually make more regular users move to FF or Chrome. Meanwhile you have to support it, because IE development will never ever be as difficult as getting enough traction.
