Yes, but those are global statistics. Please bear in mind there are sites with little to none IE visitors. For example, here are my all-time stats for demo sites of my wordpress themes on theme forest:

Firefox — 46.60%

Safari — 34.06%

IE (all versions) — 9.38%

Apple PubSub — 2.68%

Mozilla Compatible Agent — 2.37%

Opera — 1,8%

This all comes down to on what site you want to use it. And Theme Forest is a global community.

BTW creating beautiful, precise and as cross-browser as possible CSS3 code is at least 5+ times more time consuming than creating it with images. And that is the real value here, that is why you should rather buy it (without headaches) than constructing your own — of course if you decided to use CSS3 stuff after analyzing your site’s browser stats.

Those who visit theme forest and your demos are not your average user. You need to compromise and realize that “real” companies use IE in the office space. I bet that www.apple.com has very little traffic from IE users, but that does not mean that IE is not real. Don’t forget, I purchased your code and just said that it does not render in IE. It’s well worth the price, I would go as far to say it’s a good deal, but you should state in the details that it’s not for IE users.

If you click on “Images” on item page, there are screenshots from different browsers.

Regarding me using the “real browser” phrase, it was a little overrated, I know. I completely understand business segment and others are much more visited from IEs. But for instance webdesign related segments and many others not—and that was my point. I think every one of us should decide whether or not to use CSS3 on their own.
