I can't imagine doing a day of looking at new sites without finding some that don't work under Netscape either. But that doesn't mean I'll use IE. It means I won't use those faulty sites. Same applies here. If sites are written by morons, you're better off either telling them to fix them, or staying away.
I tried to sign up for E*Trade in Australia through a special Ansett link last year, and the pages wouldn't work for me. Their initial tech support answer was to switch to IE. Sure, it would be easy enough to switch to IE for them, as it would be easy to make everything twice as slow by setting my browser to compare every item in the cache to the network every time.
However, I'd prefer to make them get it right or take my business elsewhere.
