One of the sites I built recently has a ton of backbone.js dynamic loading.
I tried to test it in IE 6, and the browser just immediately crashes. Not like an alert box, just an instant shut down!
In the past I would have started the unpleasant task of figuring that out and fixing it up, or perhaps detecting and redirecting to a more lightweight page.
This time I said screw it - I'm done with IE 6! Call me irresponsible or lazy or whatever you want but I'm just done with IE 6 and it feels great!
By the way YouTube shows a giant warning on their page if you view it with IE 6, saying that it won't be supported in 6 months.
