I don't get it. A small small company with limited resources and capital wants to create a new product. Hopefully they can build a user base, bring some money in and continue development. A clear turn from the VC influx of late. In order to do this they probably weigh lots of factors including scope, functionality and time to market. Their research shows that IE is the dominant browser so they focus their first software release there.
Instead of saying "hey, great work - hope you can continue to spread the application to other browsers/platforms" you criticize them for the initial target of their release. Seems to me that if they would have tried to do what you and others wanted they would of ended up with a much later release date - worse functionality - and probably burned through a lot more of their own money trying to get to that place.
Whats wrong with a little business focus?
