If the cost of supporting this is merely some additional CSS and JS files, I don't see why IE8 should be dropped.
No, it's not only additional files. That are also hacks in the code that make code execution and development inefficient. jQuery developers long time ago decided that supporting IE<=8 costs too much and created a separate release branch.
Also, we planned a new responsive skin for Roundcube 1.2. We don't want to care about legacy browsers at that time.
I am one person who has to use IE8 at work due to several IE8 only internal apps (as do thousands of my colleagues). Granted I have admin rights on my PC and can install Chrome, but not everyone of them does. This is on Windows 7.
But I hear you. It looks the compat. plugin is a need.
