Microsoft has managed to make IE10 and 11 look good with the release of Edge.

Isn't it amazing that for whatever cursed reason Microsoft cannot do a browser.

They do however do an excellent IDE, 2017 may need a little work but I'm confident it will settle down in the next year or so.

Having spent a lot of time developing an online HTML Editor for our intranet I now appreciate IE11 a lot more. They finally got it right. It is almost completely standards compliant and everything just works the way it should, even more so than either Chrome, Firefox or Safari, which I also have to support.
...and then, Edge.
As soon as Microsoft finally gets something right, full featured and completely working, they have to mess it up with a new, "improved" version.
IE11 was fine, Edge isn't.
Windows 7 was fine, everything since isn't.
VS2015 was fine, VS2017 isn't.
Office... well, you see where I am going with is.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I would like to now what was the last version of Office you define as 'fine'

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

I don't know if it's by design, but most of the things that the browser I'm using doesn't support are things that I'd consider security risks, anyway.

Like writable-streams, directory-upload, web-payment, file-system-api?

Exactly.
I'll wait until a couple of thousand zero-days have been cured, before trusting such "great new features".

I hadn't looked at that in a while, the gap between Chrome/FF/Edge has really narrowed over the last yearish. While there's still enough variation in what they do and don't support to make things interesting for people on the cutting edge of web development, I think it's fair to say that MS has finally caught up on browser standards.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Who says it doesn't? I use IE for CP, and it works better than Chrome on my phone.

Preview does not work usually, Chrome Shows it right.
Every paste of a URL "https/..." will be cutted to "tps:/...", with Chrome not.
Maybe an error 40 (the Problem is 40cm in front of the Screen), this time I don't think.

Not for me. More likely a problem with the site than IE.

I use it at home for CP and have less problems than using others

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

All of the malware I worked with (RE) always killed the debugging tools in IE 11 so I stick with IE 9 or IE 10 for that and won't allow IE 11 on a system.

I have little complaints about IE11 or 10; they're both adequate web browsers. The only complaint I see is some old AJAX UpdatePanels don't always work and I tell the customer to switch to compatibility mode.
