I was lucky enough to watch Douglas Crockford give a keynote at the first Ext JS conference a few years back. He gave this awesome presentation on the future of HTML and JS, then burst everyone's bubble when he pointed out that it would be well over a decade before developer's could truly take advantage of any of it (with the exception of mobile). His reasoning was browser life cycle. Today there are developers who must continue to support IE 6 because a company (or govt) won't/can't move past it. How long do you think it will take before 85% + are up to, or past, IE 10? (sad fact: users still use MS)
