At 3DPixel made the decision a few months ago that 7 years was a pretty good run for Internet Explorer 6, and that enough was enough. So we killed support for it in all future projects.
At the time, I don’t think I really considered the implications this would have to future designs, but 2 projects down the line, I have to say THANK GOD. I feel like a coder reborn (cheesy I know), I’ve rediscovered the joys of transparency, inline-blocks, and padding that doesn’t make me want to tear my own face off.
I’m also actually taking the time to look into CSS3, now that there’s actually a chance I’ll use it. Rounded corners are a godsend!
So I’d encourage any other coders out there to follow in the footsteps of 3DPixel, Facebook, Apple.. and numerous other big name websites, and lets kill it off for good!
