Thank you, and I hope you are right. Again, don't get me wrong - when I was writing what was called DHTML almost fifteen years ago, I would have killed for the APIs, capabilities and cross-platform stability we have today. It's a good thing. Lots of shiny. I simply feel that this is a concern that doesn't get enough attention, certainly not around circles like these that in the end drive the further evolution of development on the web platform. And that we collectively would do well to at least acknowledge the trade-offs we're making in the process.
