Now if they would implement the HTML5 file drag & drop api like literally every other modern browser then may be people would actually use Edge.

O the tone of MS harping on about what Edge is doing feels like smoke and mirrors to me whilst IE11 will remain one of our lowest common denominators for some time. I respect that a team would love to forget about IE11, but MS is the only company that has any control over it... so whilst they dazzle people with c# style syntactical sugar and pushing typescript (which we will have to compile down to ES5 anyway) I find it hard to get excited about Edge.

Get the basics done right first imvho. I don't want developers staying late to try and understand why something isn't working in a MS browser anymore.
