Backwards support = limits. So far it's been tolerable since newer browsers can't do much that IE6 can't do.
Sometime next year though it's going to change due to two technologies about to hit final on spec. CSS 3 and HTML 5. HTML 5 alone in it's ability to allow embedded fonts and the <canvas> tag. The features in the two amount to the biggest jump since Netscape 1 to Netscape 2. There will be no workarounds - either your browser can handle them or it can't.
Hopefully they will form the bullet that finally kills IE 6
