Mostly agree, but like to add...

  • Java: they're claiming that Java's a zombie -- i.e. it's a dead language that won't die (wholeheartedly disagree).
  • C#: this guy is living on an MS island where everything is some MS product and why would you use anything that's not MS's?
  • JavaScript: IE/Edge is holding us back from progress.

I'd agree with IE but Edge is pretty cool with regards to new language features.

Eh, somewhat.
I still don't understand what's holding them to implement Web components like the other browsers (note: this is not directly related to JavaScript, but rather to the web platform).

TO be fair to IE11, it's alright. It obviously doesn't support bleeding edge but at least you can reliably test and polyfill for it.

Edge should be much better and it pains me to still find bugs in Edge that I also find in IE11. So much for a complete new browser...

Safari is the real heap of crap these days - both mobile and desktop.
