Is that still true? I recently joined a company whose primary audience is education, and our numbers say that less than 1% of our customers use browsers that don't support flexbox.

Are public middle schools farther along the tech curve than "enterprise"?

(Legitimately curious. It'd be pretty funny if so.)

The sticking point for enterprise-y things remains IE, since it only supports flexbox (buggily) as of IE11.

Though there's polyfills like flexibility out there, of course.

According to this[0], IE10.

0. http://caniuse.com/#feat=flexbox

Sort of? I mean, note that table skips IE10 entirely.

As I understand it, IE10 implements a different, somewhat incompatible version of the flexbox spec. You can see all the changes they made for 11 here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/dn265027(v=vs.85).aspx

Didn't MS announce to only keep supporting the latest IE/Edge version? This should help in that class.
For what it’s worth my project is about 2.5% no flexbox, which is too high to move over really.
Yes, schools use chromebooks
