How did they get those numbers for browser support? For example, for CSS3 animations they say that 53.91% can view that feature and they source caniuse.com, but if you actually go to the feature page on caniuse.com it says there's over 88% support.[1]

#22It is cute that I am rewarded with achievement messages and awards for simply looking at the different styles. That was certainly all the rage in 2011. I used to get quite excited getting to a new coffee shop level on Foursquare. Sadly, the novelty wore thin.
well, this site was published in 2011. I think it is still fun though.

Yes we were either all there, and the new generation of devs have heard the stories. It doesn't matter anymore and it's exhausting to here people harp on decisions made 15 years ago by a bunch of old dudes who are retired now.
15 years ago? the ES4 stuff happened in 2009-2010. that was 5 years ago. As for whether the failure of ES4 was Microsoft's fault, no it wasn't. It was ES4's fault. Microsoft and Douglas Crockford merely pointed out the irreconcilable mistakes in design in ES4. The last thing Javascript needed was more bungled up mistakes and weird things in it. In particular, the issues with ES4 were around the packaging system and h…
ES4 wasn't all or nothing.What does the type system or the class system has to do with asynchronicity? nothing.And by the way,one can totally LOAD classes and packages asynchronously in AS3. So that's not a valid argument. Crockford didn't like ES4 because it's Crockford like he doesn't like a lot of ES6 features, like he doesn't like the NEW operator. As for Microsoft they were just not interested in working on IE anymore, they didn't give a damn and just wanted to push Silverlight everywhere.
That's the story here. So your account of the events is a bit misleading.

Yeah sure, it's all Microsoft's fault in a decade where the majority of web users are using non-Windows mobile phones. Gosh darn Microsoft for building a high quality cross platform application kit!
And by cross-platform, you mean? That it works well on Microsoft and kinda-sorta on everything else?
yes, it works accross most browsers and in most operating systems. Mordernizer is tweaked so much to support some age-old browsers too.
