True, but IE10 supports flexbox (via prefixing) so I don’t have to go out of my way to support that browser.

Interesting conversation here: Should I structure my new website using CSS Flexbox completely?

Well IE10 is non-standard and you have to write separate CSS for nowadays standard and separate for IE10. Wanna do that?

That’s at least 9 month old, according to what passes for a date stamp on the page, fwiw.

IE10 uses the older Flexbox spec (and prefixes it too), but it’s not hard to code round it. For example (from latest Hive theme):

-webkit-flex: 1; // Safari 7/8
-ms-flex: 1 1 0%; // IE 10
flex: 1; // Modern browsers (2014/2015 W3C spec)
display: -webkit-flex; // Safari 7/8
display: -ms-flexbox; // IE 10
display: flex; // Modern browsers (2014/2015 W3C spec)

Philip Walton provides a comprehensive list of flexbox bugs to make life easier too.

I was reading it on my phone – didn’t even notice.

Re: Request for comment: dropping support for IE8/IE9

Jen from Mozilla just asked…

https://twitter.com/jensimmons/status/677526187825078273

If you look at the responses (need a twitter client) you’ll see a lot of this at first… “As of January, I only support IE25! Yee-haw!

But it starts turning into this real quick… “Check the stats for the website and decide from there, duh.

With some old veterans doing their typical admonishing… “It’s your job to support back to the Neanderthal flint stones. I do, so you should too.”

Just thought I’d give this tired and boring subject a bump. ;)
