Years from now, Microsoft will develop some new software that literally lets you explore the internet.
They might call it “Internet Explorer”.

Question: What else is wrong with EDGE that I missed ?
The problem with Edge is that it is fully HTML5 compliant while Google websites are not, even though the company signed on to that goal. For example, Edge does not render YouTube well because YouTube employs a deprecated API, Polymer, that Google maintains in the Chrome engine. It's two-faced and typical of the "do no harm" hypocrites in Mountain View.
The most salient complaint I have seen about Edge is the absence of history search, which has driven off many users. MS was trying to move users to TimeLine, but it was a mistake to not include history search meanwhile.
I like Edge a lot, especially its favorites functionality and how it syncs perfectly across devices. If a website doesn't work in Edge, I just hit the "open in Internet Explorer" link or go to Firefox, which I trust.
It's too bad MS is caving on this one, but the white flag has been the strategy post-Balmer.

It's too bad MS is caving on this one, but the white flag has been the strategy post-Balmer. I would call it bowing to practical necessity, rather than surrender. Ballmer’s style was extreme in the direction of “Whatever we do is right by definition and f**k the rest of the world”, which only works for a while. Eventually it runs headlong into reality. Ballmer’s approach outlived its usefulness and he damn near ruined the company.
I’m not particularly a fan of Nadella, and certainly there are still mistakes being made as they turn the big ship to a new course, but he has a pragmatic approach which is serving Microsoft better than Ballmer’s arrogant, and ultimately misguided, bluster.

IMHO, a superior product with near zero recognition and market share.
