This gist lists challenges you run into when building offline-first applications based on IndexedDB, including open-source libraries like Firebase, pouchdb and AWS amplify (more).
Note that some of the following issues affect only Safari. Out of the major browsers, Chrome's IndexedDB implementation is the best.
When this bug occurs, every time you use the indexeddb, the WAL file grows. Garbage collection doesn't seem to be working, so after a while, you end up with gigabytes of data.
For a long time Windows user, starting using Mac can be an exercise in frustration and keeping your nerves at bay. Many things don't work as expected, need to be activated in some ways, keyboard shortcuts are non-existent or wildly different.
This page is a living reference of a Windows long-timer trying to do basic stuff on a Mac. If you see an easier way to achieve certain things, don't hesitate to drop a comment.

Before I watched this, if someone would have asked about why Pointer Events wasn't getting into Chrome, I'd have pointed at Safari. I don't love that reason, but it makes sense with their current dominance on mobile. However, I don't necessarily agree, I think if every other browser implemented them, they'd come around. That's tended to be true on the web for the last 20 years (Old IEs, webgl, innerHTML, video codecs when hardware is present, etc)
As far as the main issues brought up here, which I hopefully have fairly summarized (in one sentence each, lol, sry) below, I don't see them as entirely compelling for dropping PE altogether, especially since so many real-world folks (jQuery, Dojo, IE-y people) like the unification quite a bit.
From what I can read from the previous calls and conversations[0] about this, it's less of an issue than it seems. From those conversations, it seemed like hit tests weren't cached, and Chrome at
