My personal view (not shared by others) is that V0 shipping precipitated others coming to the table to do V1, which we pursued through '15, culminating in Safari and Chrome shipping V1 impls in '16 (Safari was first to their dev channel, we were first to stable)
I took the explicit gamble of second-mover disadvantage costing us over the long haul (and how it has!), but my perspective is that it worked. Remember, this is the same era that team & I were working to upgrade the rest of our semantics (classes, async/await, css vars, etc.)

If we had it to do over again, we'd use Origin Trials to iterate for as long as we could -- e.g. the way Web XR has -- rather than doing what we did with WC V0 and Mozilla did with WebVR.

Second-mover? http://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share#monthly-201007-201501 … says first since mid-2012.

I misspoke; meant first-mover disadvantage, which shows up any time you ship first.
