I started my web dev company in early 2003. My son, a big gamer, pushed me to not use IE as our primary development browser and to use this new thing called Firefox which I think was version 0.9. To appease him, I would test our web pages in Firefox and started noticing differences with IE. So I started asking questions.
"Why does the HTML standard say things are supposed to work one way, and it does in Firefox, but not in IE?"
I would be laughed off any forum I visited. I would still be laughed off a lot of forums until 2012 or so. With this announcement, you will still find people who think there was nothing wrong with IE and will even think "Edge is great!".
Well, like I used to tell people years ago, if Edge is so great, why is Microsoft dumping it?
