Even though I've more or less zero IE11 users on Upstract, I still make sure that everything renders and basically works on it — I think this defensive, vanilla, bare-metal, no-gimmicks mindset creates better and simpler products — in spirit of what old-school Web tech was about.
(Unless you're building something like Figma of course).
- paxys 6y agoIf you think IE11 supports "vanilla, bare-metal" JavaScript or CSS you are going to have a bad time. In fact, if you are building a very simple website most of your code complexity will come from having to support legacy browsers and working around their quirks.
- babypuncher 6y agoModern Javascript and CSS both have features that allow for much cleaner and more readable code. Supporting IE11 seems like a really janky way to enforce code standards.
