Not a fan. Been working on a AR app recently and doing basic shit like getting sound to play using webAudioAPI has been a pain in the arse and it is only because of Safari.
At first sound wouldn't even play because it needs to detect a user tap first (expected and Chrome has a similar requirement tbf) - Funnily enough my first implementation worked in Chrome but didn't in Safari so had to explicitly call the audio method when the tap event fired. Then there is the delays , my current headache right now. On Chrome or FF audio just plays when the sound manger is called - but on Safari - nope there is a 1 / 2 second delay - meaning there is a sync problem with the animation.
But lots of people use it so there you go. Made a simple job a lot more complicated - works perfectly on FF / Chrome etc but Safari was a pain and the main hurdle for cross browser issues. But yeah tbh it my feeling is that it is sub-par and increasingly outdated.
