I quite like Edge as an alternative when Chrome goes belly-up on me while debugging, or something like that. I have no complaints with it as a browser.

It's not the browser that bugs me.
It's the lack of respect for my settings. Deliberately resetting only settings that relate to your choice of browser is lame.

Most true. My system happily sticks fast to Chrome, I never see anything about Edge at all, unless I explicitly open Edge.

I like Windows 10 and I like Edge. It is not a mature browser, but I really like Edge style and I use it by default. But I have to install other browsers for testing purposes and what bothers me is that they all want to be the favorite, the default.
Browsers not only request to be the favorites in the installation, they repeat their demand even if you tell them to not repeat it. And not only the browsers request to be themselves the favorites: many associated products try to set them as default, pin them, etc.
For me is the opossite: I like the convenience of not having to pin and select as default Edge. And if a windows update ensures that Edge is the favorite, that's make me happy 
In Spain we say that "it never rains to everyones's taste": you can't please all of the peope all of the time.
Anyway, in the software by default war everybody should down the weapons to reach peace.

It's sad when I have to use the open with internet explorer option to get my website to display correctly. However, edge is improving especially after the last two feature updates I have noticed improvements. I still slap Microsoft by using edge for Bing points and then an hour later switch to IE mode for a website that refuses to load. Microsoft's probably like: "freeloader!" By now.

I use both, Chrome and FireFox for development and testing. I do need at least one browser where no development is going on and which is why I use Edge. I know, that I can always find my emails, drives, and other company related stuffs over there while chrome and firefox usually remain over-tabified! 
Definitely, I am not gonna use it for development, but as a user, I have not found any such issues with it.

It lost me at the start when it didn't have an ad-blocker.
I'll unblock for sites that I reasonably trust not to serve me up malware or overly intrusive ads.
Browsing without one on by default feels like sex without a condom - only with those I trust and have a long relationship with and will risk a pregnancy with.
(Cue list of similarities between *ware and pregnancy.)

When I need to do IE/Edge testing I have to fire up my windows vm.  I remember something about having to find IE in the first place (I need both) .

I'm enjoying my $5 Amazon gift cards every month. I spend about 5 minutes of each day using Edge; click.click.click....click, get my points and then close the browser, open up Chrome for the rest of the day.

Wait, What!?
You're using Edge for about 100 minutes a month for a $5 gift-card? You floozy you!
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, for a few years now.

Make that: You clever floozy, you.

Bing.com just gave me another $5 Amazon gift card. click...click...click. bye.

Not sure why you don't want to use edge, it crash just as much as IE!
If nothing else Microsoft is consistent......

The two big reasons I will not use Edge:
1) Security settings are non-existent. In IE I add offensive advertisement sources (like *.googlesyndication.com) to Restricted Sites, it's a built in ad blocker.
2) Every version of IE has used the "star" symbol as the favorites button, even edge mobile does this. Click the "star" in Edge to see your favorites and a "Bookmarks" window pops up... WTF is a "Bookmark"?!?! It's like the developers have never used the browser that they are trying to replace (IE)...

I thought being Microsofts b**** was part of the EULA for Windows 10?
Not that that excuses this sort of behavior on their part, but it's forced updates, dodgy practices, and 's*** like this' that are (still) the #1, #2, and #3 reasons that 'no, I really, really do NOT want Windows 10'.

For those of us who don't trust Google, Chrome is being forced on us just as aggressively.

I use Edge all the time. My only grump with it is that it doesn't allow me to choose where downloads are saved. It's a nuisance having to move files from the Downloads folder to where I really wanted them to go.
We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

what's edge?
Sadly is yet another 'good' thing I miss out on by running a proper OS... Not!

One more reason to tell others why I'm still sticking with Windows 7, thank you. 
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

I get the feeling they want to make a movie rather than a game - but man! That looks good.
Even better, it had no Win10 computers or Edge visible. 
Mind you, Halo (et al.) would make pretty good movies - better than the Doom or Wing Commander ones at least.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

You do know that the fantabulisticness of hype is inversely proportional to the quality of the product, don't you?
Either they spend all their budget on making a great game, or they spend it all on hyping up a cr@p one that's pretty to look at, but uninteresting and full of bugs.
I hope I'm wrong, even though I'll probably never play it.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Yep. Unfortunately.
