One thing that hurts my development team, is the deprecation of IE11 in Angular 12 and then the removal of support for IE11 in Angular 13.

Why you might ask? Because a clients tend to be governments local, state, and federal that still have contracts with Microsoft to provide support for IE11. So starting with Angular 12, we will no longer be upgrading to future versions of Angular.

Though we are looking options to do polyfills, but we're not sure how stable that will be.

You know this right?

"The Internet Explorer 11 desktop application will go out of support for certain operating systems starting June 15, 2022. Customers are encouraged to move to Microsoft Edge with Internet Explorer (IE) mode"

I think your customers are forced to move to Edge (IE compatibility mode). So this should not be a problem.

This will probably impact others as well, perhaps they will delay or add an option but looking into the guides on Angular dated today 5/16/21
Deprecate and remove IE11 support
" IE11 has been preventing Angular from taking advantage of some of the modern features of the Web platform. As part of this project, we are going to deprecate and remove IE11 support to open the path for modern features that evergreen browsers provide. We ran an RFC to collect feedback from the community and decide on the next steps to move forward."
