Answer 1

Stupid question! Right now, take it and do it. I've been doing this for a long time. There were no complaints. In which case, write a fallback, for ie via floats

Answer 2

Years after 5

Answer 3

when will the industry be able to ignore these browsers?

The problem of changing browsers is often associated with changing hardware. on the user's computer sometimes there is such a default and download a new one, update, etc. does not allow the system policy in the enterprise. Here they are all sitting and waiting for the entire computer to be replaced along with the browser.
And they cannot change Windows. old computer. So I support the option in 5 years.

Answer 4

What's the point of supporting? Look at the % of visits with these browsers... little things, unnecessary little things.
And if the project is financial, then the person will not bring you profit, even if he cannot change the hardware.
I have not supported for a long time and there was only one complaint.
