Not really, since gerrit is a google owned project, and google supports most
browsers, it is unlikely that Internet Explorer will never be unsupported in
google projects unless no one uses ie or Microsoft drops all support for
Internet Explorer.

Isn't Gerrit more for developers who as a consequence anyway run multiple

There new skin called polygerrit fixes all the issues described here. It is
moving along greatly but it doesn't support all browsers yet, namely Internet
Explorer due to polygerrit using es6 and internet explorer does not support
es6. They are going to something in the q2 of next year work on internet
explorer support, hopefully it will make it into gerrit 2.14, 2.15, and
hopefully we will still be using gerrit then and update it and also hopefully
polygerrit will have added all the missing features.
Polygerrit is very responsive as I tried this on my mobile (iPhone) and it
worked.

My suspicion is that the Gerrit folks (in particular, Shawn Pierce) aren't
so much trolling us as saying "stop relying on the UI of Gerrit! That's
not the point!" The last time I was paying close attention to this, Gerrit
upstream seems to be particularly focused on building code review features
suitable for:
1. Incorporation into git upstream
2. Integrated into development UIs like Eclipse
The strategy seems to be "Gerrit is a reference implementation of a code
review UI for Git". I haven't paid close enough attention to either Gerrit
upstream or Git upstream to know if the Gerrit core contributors have made
progress in getting code review functionality added to Git core (or if
they've given up, or if I completely misunderstood their strategy). I'm
guessing that Eclipse has pretty good Gerrit support, but I rarely play
with Eclipse, so that's just a guess based on the Eclipse Foundation's
involvement with Gerrit.
As bd808 noted, Gerrit upstream seems to be working on yet another UI,
which would make sense if their goal is to create a variety of compatible
implementations of advanced Git functionality.
