All Edge did, was drop legacy compatibility mode, nothing else. Underlying Trident engine got a minor bump.

Really? So Chakra was just a fever dream I had? (https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-edge-gets-better-against-chrome-and-other-browsers-javascript-benchmarks)

The initial release of EdgeHTML on Windows 10 included more than 4000 interoperability fixes. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EdgeHTML#cite_note-13)

Initial public release of Microsoft Edge. Contains improvements to performance, support for HTML5 and CSS3.

"Minor bump" that fixed 4,000 bugs, and added HTML5 and CSS3.

I suppose ES6, C++11, Java 8, Python 3, etc are also just "minor bumps."

I didn't even buy the game, it didn't seem interesting to me. I just am frustrated by the fundamental lack of understanding about what an "engine" is and the fact that they're almost always being iterated on in different ways.

Diversity of engines is a good thing, everything shouldn't be Unreal Engine, Blink, V8, Clang, etc
