ICS is is quite superior in terms of available features (in fact, anything after 3.0 has a slew of improvements which you sorely miss when developing for lower versions), however, ICS also has abysmal adoption, with less than 2% of users, and 2.1-2.3.7 accounting for ~90% of users (2.1 ~7%, 2.2 ~25%, 2.3.3-2.3.7 ~60%, numbers quoted from memory, you can check for updated numbers, but I believe they will be close to these). So even though ICS would be a lot nicer to the developer, if you wish to actually reach any kind of market segment, you have to account for versions down to at least 2.2.3, unfortunately.
