Oh I do and have for a ages.
But my laptop has IE6 as well and every time windows update runs, it flags IE7 and every time it tries to install it fails. Add the fact that it's poop to start with just annoys me.
I know I could turn off that update but I'm optimistic that one day it'll work

I don't use either IE6 or 7 (Macboy alert!!), but the reason for my original posting was that we have just launched a site, which is pixel perfect in FireFoxm, IE7, Safari, Opera and Mozilla. The problem is, we launched this site, then looked at it in IE6 and the navigation is all screwed up (read really, really really messed up, elements all over the show 
)
So the crux of it is, even though only 1.6% of this particular site's visitors are using IE6, that is still 1.6%, which represents about 10,000 people.
10,000 people is alot of people to **** off, no matter what the percentage of overall users, but thanks to that 1.6%, I've had to create an entirely new IE6 only CSS Style sheet, which was 7 hours that could have been better spent.
Please, anybody who is daft enough to still be using IE6, I implore you to upgrade to at least IE7. If you don't fancy that then even Firefox 2 will do, at least those browsers respect the majority of CSS standard conventions instead of IE6's approach which consists of making CSS and web standards up as they go along!

I feel your pain.
While not on the same scale, I had to use conditional statements and occasionally find a work version of ie6 doesn't do things properly. (IE6 21%)
Test your web design in different browsers - Browsershots made things easier to test but still a PITA.
