Inking on Web Pages - Discussion
Well first off, the inking, annotating, reader functionality of original Edge needs to be included up front. In other words, no loss of functionality. Until then, to discontinue original Edge would be a very poor decision for users of pen enabled computers. This is the prize feature of Edge and to replace it with something less than will lead to Microsoft producing (wait for it) ... ... ... Chrome.
Anything less than those features will lead to a Chrome browser which will only mean Microsoft is producing a wholly derivative, me-too, copy of what is there already.
Secondly, this product could be expanded in the future to connect to or leverage the features of such programmes as Plumbago, MS Whiteboard, etc.
Compatibility to web pages is a nice add-on but if it comes at the price of giving up everything unique to original Edge it is simply not worth it. Microsoft should not be an 'also ran'.

It is SO wonderful to see the steady consistency of common similar sentiments being expressed by a steady stream of people. I, for one (of the ever-increasing countless others), pray, hope, more than words can express, that the Edge Team is hearing the (singular) voice of the multitudes AND that they act accordingly AND within the 2 months there is remaining to GA! Obviously, it is further being stated that MS will regret it otherwise. Will make a huge difference in End Users reactions to the finished product. They define the product has having these things! Get it, yet? It is draws people to it (no pun intended) & makes it special to them! That allure and loyalty IS NOT something to risk losing!

Version 79, marked for stable release, is most likely feature locked, they are only working on bug fixes for it.
