I'm sure this is causing some people on HN real, excruciating pain. However, this application was built according to the standards of its day, and I don't know that it's so unreasonable to expect them to hire at 6 figures a developer for no "real" benefit.

And, the "IE" of today could be the "Chrome" of tomorrow. I don't like this situation (does anyone?). I wonder if for CRUD apps like this, it'd be beneficial to have a limited subset stack guaranteed for long term ABI compatibility, similar to CoreOS for binary runtime environments?*

* of course, this is just one of those many "wouldnt it be nice to have" things.

I have built websites when 6 was the latest IE version and can assure you, that this website was not built according to the standards of its days

If the "application" (a web site) were built according to standards it wouldn't matter what browser we used to access it.

It was not build suing standard that's the reason its not compatible with today browsers
