I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until my job required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn't the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.

As a developer with 7+ years industry experience this is a very weak excuse to not support browsers.

Differences in features are usually down to bleeding edge stuff and I don't think your example of sort would apply because the end result is the same.

I know Adobe are more prone to using newer browser features but there really shouldn't be anything that's not simple enough to assure support across all browsers. Especially for a company as big as Adobe. It's inexcusable. We rarely have to use polyfills now, that was more a problem when I was starting out, mainly due to IE11 still holding out.
