They do seem to support older browsers: just as loadable modules. I am not opposed to the idea that the library runs different code on different browsers to get the job done if I get the same result and a performance gain out. On the other hand it's not code that I would want to debug.
How is my above comment defending it? :/ I actually extremely rarely use any js libs. I'd rather just do it myself. And no I'm nothing to do with the project.
Not supporting the majority of installed browsers is an interesting approach to web application development.
