The HTML5 drag and drop disaster

A fine rant about something that Microsoft came up with that has somehow survived, and made it into HTML5. It should not have:

Web developers MUST NOT (in the sense of RFC 2119) use HTML5 drag and drop. They should use old-school scripts instead.

….

In fact, it’s so outrageously bad that I’ve gone on strike. I refuse to do any more research on drag and drop. Go do it yourself. Or don’t bother. Whatever. I don’t care.
