Totally disagree. Unless you actively test Internet Explorer, there is likely to be bugs. Letting the user know they won’t get a reliable experience ins a better experience than that. And realistically, for anybody using any of the frameworks mentioned, or new features like CSS grid, the experience in internet explorer will be unusable, and letting the user know why is a good idea.

Sure, presenting a "this browser is no longer supported" banner is helpful for users - and helps them make better decisions about their browser choice. My take was if at all possible don't show a broken experience and help the user make a positive choice towards a better browser / experience.

But yeah, unless there's some dedicated team working on old browser issues, then there's going to be more and more brokenness as the web evolves.
