Agree completely. I'm a heavy Windows/Office/.NET/F#/Powershell user, overall a fan of MS ecosystem, but Edge is still just plain painful to actually use day to day. Chrome remains far ahead. I'd say "1000 papercuts" but maybe 5-10k is closer.
Jumping address bar? Ohhhh yeah hate that one: https://twitter.com/LincolnAtkinson/status/88703561300998963...

One thing that catches me surprisingly often when I use Edge (which is very, very rarely, contributing to this), is that all the browser controls, like Back, stay in focus when you click them until you click something else. I don't think any other common browser has this behaviour, which is why I'm not used to un-focusing them, and the next press of space definitely does something I did not intend it to do.
The thing that really drove me nuts was how the address bar jumps around when you're trying to select part of a URL, which makes it so much harder than it ought to be when you are trying to click and drag with a mouse, let alone a touch interface.
