Edge may be fast in benchmarks but in real life it's a buggy mess. Web pages look terrible and "fuzzy". Local testing with visual studio is broken. It works poorly with office 360 and bing maps. This is just my experience. Only safari comes close to being a big a pain in the ass.

edge's interface looks like it was designed in an intern's spare time

To be honest, all metro style apps have the problems you described. Also, there are minor oddities that bug me. For example, while switching desktops, the edge window will appear blank for a split second before filling up with the content. This happens every time. I don't think it has anything to do with memory.

  Latest Win10 update replaced the permission dialog box with the metro equivalent, keyboard shortcut lost, I cried a little inside.

since edge has gotten lastpass and adblock, I have been using it more and more. I haven't noticed pages looking fuzzy. it seems to work well but the fact that you can't right click and search in a new tab is frustrating.

    Using uBlock requires reenabling it every time the browser launches, since unpacked extensions are disabled automatically each session. There is no documentation on how to package an extension to make it stick; this knowledge seems to be restricted to the select few developers that have Microsoft-endorsed extensions in the store.

I use Edge becuase the rendering and thw smoothness is superior to the other browsers, I just can't go back now.

It's not that I doubt the benchmarks, but Edge doesn't feel that fast. As others point out, the UI is also a little... weird. Why is the URL bar hidden by default, that just seems like a weird way of tricking people into using the Bing search box.
