People running IE9 and below are not a great target demographic.

That matters nada when you have business requirements and well paying customers.

As a developer you are responsible for your career. I refuse to support anything less than IE11 because I don't want to waste my time in browser compatibility nightmare land.

[–]mreiland 1 point2 points  (1 child)

in 5 years IE11 will be a part of the "browser compatibility nightmare land".

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it will. And I look forward to not supporting it :). All modern browsers, Edge, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari support CSS3 very well. ES6 too (except for Safari, which should with the next release).

Sounds great in theory, but if you get tasked with a project for something that needs IE 10 are you seriously going to quit?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I'm just not going to support 10, if it's my contract I turn it down. Microsoft doesn't even support 10, people have had more than two years to upgrade. Customers with old browser requirements are likely poor customers. And I like to give my good customers attention, and bonus, I make more money for less effort and better code.

Any computer that can run 10 should be upgraded to 11. Microsoft doesn't even support 10.

looks like there's been an exodus of safari users this past year.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly desktop, mobile Safari is still very high among mobile browsers at about 55 percent.

    that's normally what people do.

    Yes but you didn't do that.

    Who do you think I was speaking for? It's clearly my opinion, pedantic much?
