I did some searching. A combination of flexbox layout and srcset images
may (eventually) make responsive design a non-issue. But in the meantime
there are browser version and prefixing issues to learn first, before
attempting to use any of it. All of this looks promising (I'm a beginner,
not an expert).
IE 10 supports a prefixed syntax. IE 11 is more standards compliant. But
what about the hoards of legacy XP users? If the developer has to use IE
conditionals and then to write legacy CSS as well as prefixed and not
prefixed flexbox and srcset codes, what's the point? Am I missing
something? How can we get Microsoft to upgrade the old browsers--which
cause so much pain?
Or is there a current benefit--that's worth the effort--of using the new
stuff now?
