I have seen plenty of corporate software that was supposed to work with exactly that version of IE.
When you were automatically forced to upgrade to a newer version usually nothing worked anymore.
In some cases even forcing the compatibility layer.
I would rather see that kind of software, developers that produced it and users disappear.
In my experience few things are more annoying than an IE specific website.
If you are happy with it, then great for you.
But I believe that you are the first person that is actually happy to use IE given the aforementioned quirks.

It's not really about being "happy" to use IE. It's about using what does the job.

Am I correct in assuming that you "need to use IE" for software that is incompatible with other browsers?

Yes. Obviously, I'm going to need to use the browser best supported by most of our infrastructure. If that rewards Microsoft's earlier behavior, so be it. I need things to 'just work' for non-technical coworkers.
Where I work, we need to use IE for many things, and we have exactly one piece of software that requires a different browser. If in the future, I have the opportunity to replace that product with something that also works in IE, I will, without hesitation. Because the frustration caused by the one IE-incompatible software outweighs the benefit it could possibly provide over a competitor.
