<p>We made drag-and-drop interfaces accessible by allowing users to TAB through the original list, press ENTER on the item they want to move, then use the arrow keys to move the item and press ENTER again when done (or ESC to cancel). After each move, the item's current position, and any necessary local context, was announced via `aria-live` region.<p>There are other ways that this can be accomplished with even fewer keystrokes, so I can't imagine a scenario where drag-and-drop interfaces would have to be avoided because they couldn't be made meaningfully accessible.</p>

<p>It helps to reframe your thoughts on accessibility as a subset of user experience (UX). Putting aside any potential moral argument, how important is UX to your business/project?<p>When accessibility is thought about and incorporated ahead of time, your overall user experience tends to be better. This is sometimes referred to as Universal Design.<p>I managed a project where we implemented a UI redesign for our existing enterprise SaaS software and we "went the extra mile" to not just make the experience accessible but to make that experience pleasant for our users with disabilities. In the end, some of the features -- especially around keyboard navigation -- that came out of that accessibility work were considered the best part of the redesign to our users.</p>

<p>I've taken the approach of only reading the 3-star reviews.<p>In most cases, a 3-star review will provide a pretty thorough assessment of the pros and cons, and it's generally easier to determine the authenticity of the review.</p>

<p>I get your point that a highly-motivated attacker has other, less sophisticated, ways of getting to your data.<p>However, if we're playing poker and I learn your tell, it's in my best interest that you are naive to that fact. While not the best analogy, I would think that the same concept would apply to state actors.</p>

<p>An "unknown caller" is typically one that has no caller ID information provided (e.g., unlisted number). However, getting a random telemarketing call from a VoIP-provided 
(or spoofed) local number would still come through since the caller ID information is provided, even though the number is not in your contacts list.</p>

<p>I get your point, and somewhat agree, but I think it's important to remember that the two (feature updates to Terminal and Notes vs. stability/performance/etc.) aren't typically mutually exclusive; the developer that would implement Markdown support in Notes isn't likely the same developer that would be implementing performance/stability enhancements to the core of the OS.</p>

<p>It's not as simple as using auto-prefixer, since IE10 and IE11 use the older syntax. However, it's surprisingly not that bad for simple layouts.<p>Here's a great resource covering the hows and whys: <a href="https://rachelandrew.co.uk/archives/2016/11/26/should-i-try-to-use-the-ie-implementation-of-css-grid-layout/" rel="nofollow">https://rachelandrew.co.uk/archives/2016/11/26/should-i-try-...</a><p>And here's a simplified example I threw together recently to demonstrate it in action: <a href="https://codepen.io/shahab/pen/ypWmZG" rel="nofollow">https://codepen.io/shahab/pen/ypWmZG</a><p>Basically, you lose auto-placement, named grid areas, and simple grid gaps, so you have to manually place items in the specific row/column for IE. But, I've found that it's still easier than the alternative in many cases.</p>
