I just worked on a 300K project for a company that makes 6mil/day (yes, you read that right) to redo a single page on their website (albeit a functional page). IE6 was a requirement.

A client with that kind of money dictates what is and is not supported and you don't just get to "not know how to do it".

2% of the U.S. may use IE6... but 99% of the executives in this company used it.

Not to mention that if an IE6 hack took 2 days you got of eeeaaasy... seriously. It only took 2 days? You got of easy.

Yeah, it sucks. But there are cases where learning how to IE6 or otherwise can be quite lucrative- and a condition for doing business.
