Well, according to Microsoft themselves, they won't have extension support by the release of RTM (which is very, very close at this point). I'm sure Microsoft Edge will pick up a large market share simply because it's the default browser, but for people in the know, yeah, it will likely (for a while at least) remain simply a tool for downloading other browsers that actually have extension support.

I have been running Windows 10 for a while and see a lot of promise in Microsoft Edge, especially with Cortana integration, but there is no way I can use it as my main browser currently. It runs great (usually) and has some nice built-in features, but the current lack of extension support means I can't use it. I need an adblock program like uBlock Origin in order to browse the web these days. I know extension support is coming eventually, but I really feel like it was a mistake not having it ready by the Windows 10 RTM build. A lot of people are probably gonna take one look at it, see it doesn't have extension support, and then never look at it again; even when extension support is added in. Once extension support is added in, Microsoft Edge may very well become my main browser, but not until then.

It's clear that the person who put that together has never even taken a look at Korean. "Written Korean also relies on many Chinese characters". Oh really? More like very few, and you aren't actually required to use them at all. You can use 한글 for everything. All one needs to do is take a look at the Korean Wikipedia or popular Korean websites like Naver and Daum to see what I mean.
I can't speak for the accuracy of the description of the other languages, but IMO that is a glaring issue and could scare off a lot of people from learning Korean even though it's incorrect. The use of Chinese characters in modern Korean is nothing compared to the use of them in Chinese (obviously) and Japanese.

We aren't talking about getting through a Korean high school though. We are talking about language learning difficulty from an English speaker's perspective. And the fact of the matter is, Hanja are rarely used by average people.

Why do gendered nouns kill you about Spanish and French, but not German? They only have 2 noun genders while German has 3.

Reddit is dying at a very fast rate.
You say that, but I'm not seeing any proof of it. People are checking out Reddit alternatives in larger droves lately, sure, but at the same time I haven't seen Reddit so active in a while and the vast majority of the subs that went dark weren't even dark for 24 hours. There's also the problem that by far the most recommended alternative on Reddit has been Voat, and since it's down, people just end up staying at Reddit even more.

Tbh I'm much more excited about the fact that the new Windows 10 version of Minecraft won't be running on Java.

Moving to HTML5 Premium Media | Microsoft Edge Dev Blog
Updated July 2, 2015 10:57 am - The commercial media industry is undergoing a major transition as content providers move away from proprietary web plug-in based delivery mechanisms (such as Flash or Silverlight), and replace them with unified plug-in free video players that are based on HTML5 specifications and commercial media encoding capabilities. Browsers are moving away from plug-ins as well, as Chrome is with NPAPI and Microsoft Edge is with ActiveX, and toward more secure extension...

Not as far as I'm aware, and I don't see why there should be to be honest. The Reddit admins should have implemented many if not all of the features found in RES by default in the first place. I hope that any serious improvements that are thought up for Snapzu are actually implemented on Snapzu itself, not through a third-party addon.
What features do you feel Snapzu is lacking right now that you would like to see?

Yes, I agree, the layout is awesome. On Reddit, I see Voat is being recommended the most as a Reddit alternative and /r/voat itself has had some really popular posts lately, but I am not a big fan of the design. I appreciate that it is Reddit without badmins (so far), but I am looking for something that isn't just a clone of Reddit's aesthetics with slight improvements in functionality. Snapzu seems to fulfill that desire.

I've been staring at it for the past 5 minutes imagining what it would be like to experience that and live in that world. It's captivating.
