Supporting old browsers is a waste of time. We ought to be focusing on making the best app possible, not creating tons of fallback versions.

I look at the stuff native developers focus on, and it IS NOT supporting old versions of their platform but rather making their app great.

Seriously, we build so much crap to support older browsers instead of encouraging users to upgrade. Waste of time, money and code.

As a JS dev, I challenge you to only support "modern" browsers. IE9+, Firefox 4+, Safari 4+ & Chrome 8+. Cut the crap and go modern only!
