Well it obviously means you don't have all the new features like geometry shader, tessellation etc. to play with. But as far as coding style and deprecation goes I think you can get a good approximation of "modern OpenGL" by not relying on things like the matrix stack and default attributes. Just consistently use VBOs, custom attributes and stay clear of the matrix stack...
