I'm currently wrestling with that most annoying of bugbears, IE 5.2.3 on the Mac.
I put that into the same category as NN4 - a browser that's only used by people who like broken web pages.
I don't really have good figures, because I get so few Mac IE5 hits that they're not statistically valid.
Do other people get enough to worry about?
Depending on your audience....
Surprisingly (not ?), I noticed that most IE Mac hits come from IE Mac 5.0 (the oldest version). IE 5.2x (OS X version) has virtually disappeared (except @ my l-c-n.com, for a reason...). IE 5.1x, the most recent version running on OS 9 is fast fading as well.
But putting it in the same league as NN4 is unfair, to say the least. Many quirks in IE mac can be tracked to some inconsistencies in the CSS 2.0 specs. And I still find it more easy to deal with that browser than with IE win.
