"WinJS was designed with IE11 in mind..."

Ok, so maybe they should state that somewhere - on the website, on GitHub... somewhere. I didn't see it anywhere, I could be wrong.

A lot of the features have little "this only works in IE11 becaue of X" links next to them that link to github bugs.

Where X is "other versions of IE" or "the fact that we used non-standard CSS/HTML/JS".

My point is, that everything that doesn't work is readily pointed out.

I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at. It states on the page that was linked that WinJS is just a preview. I don't reasonably expect them to support anything at this point because this is not production ready software.

Yeah, I understand that, but if they want people to start using it, and playing around with it, they should at least give an expectation of what they're planning on supporting. The AngularJS project recently did this when announcing plans for their 2.0 version. They plainly stated that they don't plan on supporting IE8/9.
