You want developers to support Opera because you... like it? As another commenter already said, if opera doesn't even equate to a 1% of your users, you'd be a fool to spend money trying to support a browser most of your users don't even use.
That being said, Opera is a nice browser and has gotten better and better with time. I of course encourage projects that can and should to support opera, but there are plenty of reasons not to support it and in most of those cases they're right not to do so.
