For the most part this is a pretty good article. I find that the more removed someone is from the real, vanilla HTML the more bloat they will inadvertently bring in. Need to focus a form? Download an angular plugin because you're using angular, why would you want to do it natively! The native DOM is pretty inelegant but at the same time it can't be ignored; it must be understood. You don't need a new plugin, font, css reset file to accomplish everything you want and you can even do it cleanly! I was a little concerned about this part though: > [...]ad startups will grow desperate[...]This why I've proposed we regulate the hell out of them now[1]. I'm all for downloading of your information but some of the other things are just a bit off the mark. Like deleting your data can be problematic in any type of collaborative / productivity app. The right to go offline is nice in theory but many devices may actually need the internet to work and without it it wouldn't be able to function. I mean yeah the examples given are good examples as to things that can be "smart" and "dumb" but what about similar things, like sensors and other types of trackers? Seems like market pressures would be better to change those items than regulation.
