It would be better if IE, period, was dead. Otherwise we're just switching one terribly obsolete IE for another terribly obsolete IE.

We are writing enterprise web application that uses WebGL for displaying complex 3D models and we think that IE11 is damn good. Thus, I've no idea why are you calling it terribly obsolete.

I had moaning about how backwards IE11 was earlier this week, but last week I was moaning about Safari and the week before it was Firefox.

We've reached the point where I'm spending about equal time dealing with bugs in different browsers instead of IE being the source of 95% of all pain.

This is a good thing, but I sometimes miss being able to just hate on Microsoft :)

We'll have IE12 by that time.

MS has made updating the browser a lot easier than it used to be in recent versions. So I don't think we're going to run into any major issues where we have to wait for a new version of Windows to gain popularity before we see a browser version die off.
