Loudest "f. you" I can tell to IE is Firebar: http://hpstudios.homeip.net/Firebar.html
Usually I don't have to trash the code with conditional comments. * html {} and *> {} css hacks are enough.
I try to make pages look better in better browsers. I use 8bit PNGs with alpha (see pngquant), which degrade in IE to 1bit alpha instead of gray background.
I give some extra hovers or occasional background-position: fixed for wow effect in non-IE.
Users must see that other browsers are better. So far they only see that some sites "don't work in Firefox".
