I know this is a year later, but I disagree. Internet Explorer NEEDS to Die. The reason it hasn't completely died yet is because of this idea; "Someone uses it, so I guess we have to make it work". IE is a security risk, it's a Javascript nightmare, and it reduces performance for ALL users just to include the <8%. Supporting it is a bad idea, and it's not just an opinion. There is factual evidence as to why it is bad, and there is not enough people using it for the inclusion of them.
Old browsers don't die fast enough because devs keep supporting them. The sooner the support is ended, the sooner it will die.
