An incompatible and broken version of Flexbox is supported in IE11. Therefore, layouts look completely different (and broken) when rendered in it.
Only people who recommend Flexbox in IE11 haven't tried using it in IE11. I might via a library that did the heavy lifting for me, but there's just too many bugs to recommend anyone write Flexbox and expect it to just work -- it won't/doesn't.
PS - I'd link all the IE11 Flexbox bugs but Microsoft took them offline with Microsoft Connect's retirement.
I write a fairly substantiate app (60,000 DOM elements...) that uses flexbox and SVG for all the rendering and it's fine in IE11. The layout problems are more often SVG related. That said, if you don't need to support IE11 it's much easier not to.
Nope.
