Honnest question for Safari users: why Safari? I don't really know Safari. I used Chrome on Windows and iOS, and when I moved to OSX I naturally continued with Chrome. And the dev tools are really great.

Chrome looks really ugly, like it was designed by a programmer.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Im guessing for a large number, its the same reason people still use Microsoft's browser. It's the default and it's good enough.

You're guessing wrong. I am using Safari because I like Safari the most.

I didn't say every Safari user, how does your comment prove my comment wrong?

At the same time, right now it's relly backwards[1]. Luckily the shelf-life of Safari is much shorter than others, so we'll be able to use fetch() natively without polyfills soon-ish if you target modern browsers. [1] http://caniuse.com/#feat=fetch

This is the important list. I don't care about ES2015 or more—we'll always use Babel. I care about Service Workers and WebRTC more.

I used Chrome before but gave Safari another go about a year and a half ago, haven't looked back since and now Safari is my main browser on macOS. I only open Chrome when I need to test something, or come across a site that puts up a screen saying nothing but Chrome is supported (regardless of whether or not it works.)

My main reason for switching is efficiency. Safari is blazing fast, and reasonably memory efficient as far as browsers go even with 100+ tabs. Chrome would deplete my memory even with only a moderate amount of tabs open.

Also Safari seems much more power efficient.

Nicer looking, faster (feeling, at least), iCloud Keychain.

Post like these bother me because they lack context. Sure, the claim in the title is true, (and will remain true, unless something goes terribly wrong at Apple) but by the very nature of the linked resource, at some point it won't tell you whether or not the claim is valid.

Even if you use Babel your users will still benefit from less polyfill.
