That's not a compelling reason to switch from Chrome. Why use a different browser just to use the same extensions you can already use on your previous browser? We are creatures of habit, we like the familiar and the comfortable. We don't like having to learn a whole new UI just to do the same task we can do with the familiar UI. That was the main reason Windows 8 failed as hard as it did. Microsoft better have an extraordinary marketing campaign for Windows 10 or this Edge browser is going to fail just as hard.
Oh and I'm a Firefox user, I never use Chrome if I can avoid it. Google's record on security and privacy is the deal breaker there.
That's like the opposite of what they said, they are adding chrome addon support, all chrome addons should work on the browser eventually.

It may not be a compelling reason, I never said it was, but it's definitely a nice addition. Edge brings it's own new features to the table, Cortana integration, the writing/markup thing, etc. I don't find those useful, but some might.
Regardless, I think most people ended up switching to Firefox/Chrome due to addons and speed. Both of which Edge has the edge over IE (See what I did there? ;D). In most of the world it will probably ship as the default out of box browser. Will it beat Chrome in users? Probably not, but it's definitely got a better chance than IE does and it's simply a better experience than IE, which makes it an upgrade for 13% of the world.

On start up it does that "wah wah wah" thing that only "The Edge" can do... on every single one of their tracks since the 80's.
