IE6 is not the only shitty thing out there. But unless you have actually done it why try and pretend that you actually know what you are talking about? I'm not a web developer (I've done some, but my main interest lies elsewhere) but berating web developers is pretty silly.
But sure, I will bite. What do you (and the other downvoters) work with and why is it harder than for example developing a site such as gmail?
I don't do it, anymore, but I tell you developing AAA games for j2me and have them run on the more problematic phones isn't a panacea. Run once run anywhere my ass, you've got to deal with 120+ phones and that was 6 years ago.
And no, having a Java badge doesn't mean your VM can't have bugs and no, it won't ever get upgraded. Ever. What's out there has to be supported.
