Let it be known throughout the entire universe:
Internet Explorer should ONLY be used to download Chrome, Firefox or Opera.
Once that task has been completed, IE should, in essence be extremely dead to you.

@therealklanni I tried to give Edge a chance.
When it didn't support certain features on certain websites, it would kindly suggest that I switch to IE to continue on my merry way.
Nice try, Microsoft.
@rhymiz I support this everyday as well. Edge is more compliant than chrome, and especially safari, on a lot of layout and selector specs. I feel that some of the hate im hearing right now comes from trying edge early, some just from residual Microsoft hatred, and most from residual IE hatred. 1/
@m3talsmith No hate for Microsoft here. I like the company, I just don't like their browser solutions.
Don't get me wrong, Edge is better than IE in many ways.
It is also more lightweight than Chrome, which is a INSANE CPU hog. Firefox has some kinks to work out and we shall not speak of the pain that is Safari.
But I don't think that Edge works for me, at least, not currently.
Also, I use a Mac and Ubuntu everyday for development.
@rhymiz As someone who uses it everyday, along with chrome and Firefox, I've watched it grow rapidly into my personal consumer choice. As a developer chrome stool had the best dev tools, but as a user I really like features like the built in epub support, how lightweight out feels to use, etc. It still has room for improvement, but it will continue to gain usage with Windows users. Get used to it. At least you only have to support standards. 2/2
@m3talsmith
I switched from Windows 10 to Ubuntu, because web application development is less painful for my usecases.
I work with Django and Rails every day.
@rhymiz Edge actually ain't so bad.
