I prefer caniuse.com too.

The bit about Edge just being IE without the legacy baggage is incorrect. You can see the new standards and APIs they've either added or are adding here: http://dev.modern.ie/platform/status/?filter=f06000000

The thing I'm happiest about is the user-agent change so poorly written JavaScript / CSS that was written for webkit instead of standards will now magically start working.

The new standards and API support are the same that would have been added to IE12. It doesn't matter that Edge came along.
