Internet Explorer, still the heart of Microsoft's problems.
Compare TFS web interface to say BitBucket Server. They look and feel like generations apart.
Atlassian's feel modern and responsive and like a real app, Microsoft's looks like dogshite, and uses static HTML content. It's horrible and clunky. Why? As it needs to work with Internet Explorer, that's why.....
Same with other Microsoft web based stuff. Office365. Pretty horrible, coded to work with IE, and full of horrible workarounds. Sharepoint, ditto...
Microsoft are stuck between a rock and a hardplace. They can't abandon IE, whilst the refuse to release Edge on anything but Win10, and their web apps will continue to suck until they abandon IE.
Either that, or they have the balls to take Internet Explorer behind the shed, but a bullet in it, and tell users to use Chrome or Firefox instead on platforms where Microsoft isn't supporting Edge.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
