IE では利用できない機能、IE を切り捨てる事で得られるメリットの一覧


このエントリでは、Web Developer が IE 対応を止めた場合に得られるメリットがどれ位あるのかを示します。

前提として

IE 7, 8, 9, 10 のサポートは 2016-1-13 に終了し、IE 11 が残りました。
IE 11 は IE でしか動かないシステム(特定企業向けに書かれたシステムなど)を利用するためのブラウザとして2023年までサポートが継続するそうです。

ずるずるとサポートを強要するビジネス層、エンジニアとの対話の不在、揃わない各社の足並み、繰り返される10年前の記憶

ES6 が本格的に活用される段階(2017年後半〜)になると、
多くの Web Developer が ES6 をサポートしない古いブラウザを「コストをかけて今後もサポートする」か「切り捨てる」か… を真剣に検討する事になります。

Babel などの補助ツールを使う事で部分的に対処療法も可能ですが、我々が本当に望んでいるのは根本的な解決です。

これまでのように、ブラウザが普及するのをじっと待つ事でしか根本的な課題が解決されないのなら、やはり Web Developer のフラストレーションは溜まっていく形になります。
そして、私達は10年前(IE 6 が市場をコントロールしていた時代)に、それらをイヤというほど経験しています。

IE 11 は、煮え切らない人々の願いを叶えるために、これから時間をかけて、新しい IE 6 に仕立てあげられるのです。

New Browser features

そんな未来はゴメンです。僕は IE をバッサリ切り落とし、未来に生きます。

以下は、古い IE で使えず、今時のブラウザ(Safari 9, iOS Safari 9, Edge, Chrome, Firefox) で使える機能の一覧です。
