Ahh, forgot that Windows 7 was shipped with IE 8. Well, then I guess there
must be support for it.
I still suggest that ES5 shim and similar should be used where the browser
doesn't support a specific API. If the user is using any of the modern
browsers, they should get the best experience possible, while users with older
browsers should still be able to use it.
Mixing different frameworks just because you can could easily lead to
confused developers in the end. ECMAScript 5th Edition has this indexOf
function, and since it´s possible to shim it, I don't see any reason for why
anything else should be used.
