Tell that to those enterprise customers holding to IE 11, not allowing Chrome and doing their own timely releases of FF ESR.

Where I work we only just upgraded to IE11 - it was a decent-sized project, involving a lot of people and manhours.

I really wish we'd of just ditched it and moved to Chrome or Firefox :(

So you would have a decent sized project involving lots of people and manhours, but without support from your vendor?

If someone is developing web applications in such a way that they need support from their browser vendor to make them work properly ... they're doing it wrong.

I was assuming that the upgrade was more of an IT thing, that all the company computers are now on IE11.

Yes, that's correct.

We have a portfolio of hundreds of applications, and needed to make sure every one worked OK on IE 11 before upgrading from IE 9.
