What does this retirement of IE mean to us as frontend developers? What about the UX side of the decision of dropping IE support? What problems will disappear together with the support of IE? What web features will we be able to use?

We talk about code-splitting; what it is, when to split and when not to split your code. We also talk about when is a good time to think about performance in the lifetime of a project. What about old jQuery code or third-party plugins. How to do code-splitting when using Webpack or when using a JS framework. What about lazy-loading JavaScript components when you need them? Can you code-split when using a CMS? ES Modules? Can you code-split CSS? What about critical CSS?
