> I'd be delighted if both IE and Edge went away forever. To be fair Edge is a pretty solid browser these days, I don't think you can put them on the same league. I've been using it for some time now and other than a slightly different font rendering engine I have yet to find a fault on it; everything works like you would expect in a modern browser. Development wise, we test for Edge ocasionally and so far we haven't come across Edge-specific quirks like the good ol' days of IE.

SVG rendering is still wonky, FWIW.

    I recently ran into this. I was putting an SVG into an <img> tag and sized it with CSS. In every other browser, it worked as expected. The SVG filled the space and stretched to the set dimensions. In EDGE, the SVG appeared tiny at the top-left of the space the <img> took up. I could not figure out a way around it. Had to convert it to a PNG. It seems that it handles SVGs as background images just fine.

      I use SVGs all the time in Edge, styled appropriately. Edge however considers (as the spec says) that the bounds of the image are at the bounds of the "page" (as Inkscape sees it, in my experience) I do The Bad Thing™ with inline styling on occasion, but I've had no problems: <img style="width:100%;height:auto;" alt="header" src="https://zaibatsutel.net/zaibatsu-wide.svg"> https://zaibatsutel.net/zaibatsu-wide.svg"> Works 100% fine in IE using a layout kit like Marx or Twitter Bootstrap every time.

It had some annoying CSS quirks that pissed me off last time I had to deal with compatibility issues.

You mean you haven't found any Edge edge cases? (Sorry I couldn't help myself)

  How Edgey.

Not bad [0]; although still a bit of catching up to do, it's nowhere near as far behind as IE traditionally was. Apparently, Edge is the first desktop browser to support columns properly, which I give it massive props for.

>Development wise, we test for Edge ocasionally and so far we haven't come across Edge-specific quirks like the good ol' days of IE. Edge is simply expansive to test for, because at the places where i worked the only windows laptops (that are locked down like Azkaban for obvious reasons) around were those of the sales people. Majority of the developers on linux, where the designers are on macs. Unless it is actively formalized, Edge ends up not getting a lot of testing with anything we make.
