Show HN: CSS Pokemon – created with clip-path and CSS variables

As I already said above, I'm analogising; pointing out minor inconsistencies doesn't undermine the comparison. No two scenarios are ever identical. The post-IE6 history you're referring to is a bit moot: we have yet to see where Chrome will go.

Minor factual note: the Edge engine is open-source, so your arguments for studying Chrome's implementation source applies equally to Microsoft at this stage.

> IE is the ultimate evil to the internet

This is straying very quickly into hyperbole.

The debate about open-/closed-source somewhat misses the mark anyway. Opera (Presto) was always entirely closed-source and it did much more for the open web than most. The killer is market dominance - lack of diversity leads to bad things. And IE has long since lost its market crown.

Only the Javascript engine is open source, fwiw. That's not the majority of the browser.

(Unless EdgeHTML was open sourced since I last checked.)
