You can't have evolution without dropping ties to the past from time to time. That's about time to drop IE11 to take full advantage of modern Web features.

- mwcampbell 5y agoHow much more does the web really need to evolve though? Maybe IE 11 already had all the features that the web platform really needs, and the upgrade treadmill is now being driven by nothing more than our insatiable demand for convenience as spoiled developers. Pity the users who can't keep up with the treadmill.
- rk06 5y agoWeb needs a lot. Web standards i.e. html,css and js are always evolving and web needs to evolve with it. IE11 is frozen in time. and won't support any newer tech, think about web components, HTTP 3 etc.
- warpech 5y agoI agree that for many use cases, IE11 featureset is fine. We jump on the SPA ship too often. I think that static content and server-side rendered apps are often the best option that is for some reason considered out-of-fashion. However, for those who see a Web browser as an application runtime, IE11 should be out of question. Vue is an application framework, and as such, it should benefit from all the improvements in the Web platform implemented in the modern Web browsers.
