1.6% means that out of every 1000 people, 16 of them might be using Safari, not 2 in 10.
Personally, I've never liked Macs, and as all of them appear to have Firefox and so on preinstalled, I code for Firefox, and take into account the quirks/benefits of IE. This works for 98.4% of the internet population.
[Sarcasm]Why not also code for Opera and a few other things, like old Netscape Navigator (RIP) at the same time? I have a friend who still runs that. In the end you have either a very limited site that works perfectly for everyone (and you've spent hours /day making it, testing it, dual booting it, etc). [/sarcasm]
