7: The fall of IE

Since IE will be retired on June 15th 2022, we're talking a bit about how it was back in the days when we had to support old IE versions.  What does this retirement of IE mean to us as frontend developers?  What about the UX side of the decision of dropping IE support? What problems will disappear together with the support of IE? What web features will we be able to use?
