One thing, many of these anti-IE articles seem to ignore is business outside of the United States.

We are a global business and China's most popular browser (at least with users hitting our site) seems to be Maxthon which is based on the Trident rendering engine (which of course is what IE uses). This makes it nearly impossible for us to ever consider cutting off IE support unless we wanted to neglect one of our largest growing user-bases in the world.

Make sure you seriously consider which parts of the world your app could potentially be used in and do the research to find out what browsers they use in that area.
