Hello,
Well, not everyone is that lucky :)
Currently as you said it's an Enterprise wiki, and some enterprises do not
necessarily shine with being up-to-date. Currently in mine our official
browser is still IE8. And most of our customers also stick to IE8. In this
kind of context there is no solution, except praying that your IT will
schedule some upgrade not too far from now.
Not saying this is representative of the majority - I have no idea. I hope
not.
4 years seem quite old, but in my opinion it's quite sad to see that many
web apps have to drop support for so recent browsers versions, due to
maintenance costs (though completely understandable). We could have
imagined that a responsive js framework could gracefully manage when
browser is not responsive (do you remember, when web sites could imagine
that you didn't want to activate javascript and still "work" ? :) ). If the
intention of these frameworks is to reach everyone everywhere from every
device, then it would seem logical to manage every browser ;-) But I must
say I'm not sure of what it means, or amount of work that would be needed.
BR,
Jeremie
PS: my own computer is more than 4 years old :)

I think if even google dropped support to IE8(in their
apps), why would you
maintain it?
Besides, no one wants to make thousands of hacks just to support an old
browser.
And Xwiki is not just a wiki. Is a 2.0 Enterprise Wiki. IE8 doesn't sound
well with 2.0 hahaha.
Btw, 4 years is a lot of time. Who has a 4 year computer today?
You lost some old browser users, but you win some android, iPad and Iphone
users.
That's is what I think as a user and a html developer.
Thank you =).
