I think those stats are very much skewed to the audience: web 'professionals'
(I hate to use that term since I've found much on w3schools is really aimed at
amateurs). I do some work for a much more general-purpose audience, and while
the overall traffic is relatively low, the browser ratios are more like IE 77%,
FF 17%, Safari 4%, Opera < 1%. It pains me to say it, but Firefox is still
really a minority browser.
I do, however, wholeheartedly agree with the suggested approach: develop in a
good (i.e. non-IE) browser first, to spec., then go and fix for the parts of
the spec. that fail in IE.
