I am a windows user who also uses Linux sometimes, edge browser is something which I find difficult to configure my web applications and my sweet spot is chrome or developer firefox.

What difficulties do you find with Edge?

I'm still learning about using it for development. I've got my DOM explorer and my console, I hope this experiment won't bite me in the butt when I need to start setting breakpoints!

I've struggled just to access localhost with Edge. Since it's not a traditional desktop app you have to jump through some hoops to do local development with it

For beginners edge can be tiresome because some features of css just doesn't work with edge and other compatibility issues and I guess that's the most common complaint about edge by most of the web developers but I guess you're an experienced dev in web development so you must already know workarounds for some properties or compatibility issue, but as I said when I develop web applications first I try it on Chrome and then Mozilla I have very less experience with web development in edge.
