Treat IE6 better than CSS3 supporting browsers.

I’ve seen a large number of tweets and blog postings say how great CSS3 is, and how to use it. Hell, I’ve used it myself. The thing is, only the newest browsers support what is still (in the majority) a working draft of the CSS3 specification.

According to the damned lies statistics (November 2009 browser stats from ars technica), IE6 is still the most used individual version of all browsers (with IE still with over 60% share in total). Don’t forget those poor users still subjected to old browsers.

If you do want to use CSS3, please make sure you apply graceful degradation for those browsers that other people are stuck with.
