IE support for JS/CSS has been massively simplified by not supporting IE any more.


It’s honestly freeing. I was so happy when the last holdout among my clients told me they no longer need to support any version of IE. Removing all of the IE polyfills and babel transformations from package.json felt so good.


I browsed the Washington Post and NYTimes with IE11 the other day and was pleased to see they looked like absolute garbage. :-)
