I don't believe Mordechai was suggesting anyone ignore IE -- rather that, instead of bashing our heads against the proverbial brick wall trying to make our standards-compliant sites work in IE, it may be a workable option to use an alternative to said head bashing and css hacks. His suggestion was to use Javascript.
My own method of preference in these circumstances is the use of conditional comments for IE. I don't know Javascript, and with conditional comments a) the page still validates and works as intended in UAs that support standards, b) IE alone reads what's meant for IE alone and furthermore I can target specific versions of IE, c) I can still reference an external css file, and d) I can get IE to do what it's told by writing fast, clean css in far less time than it takes me to work out hacks. :-)
It's not going to suit everyone and I'd be interested to hear people's ideas for and against these alternatives.
