Well, while I like what you can build with JS, I often don't like what people build. For example, npm makes it so easy to import megabytes as a dependency to your project while you might only need a few kilobytes. And some devs simply do not seem to care about that.
On the other hand, JS allows us to build great user interfaces which better to use than our old school point and click adventures we use to have. And if you do it right the performance is also ok, but it is also not so hard to fail and ruin the whole user experience by rendering the scene twice every frame ;-)
- marssaxman 9y agoI actually liked the old point and click adventures better, because you always knew exactly what to expect. There was a fixed suite of tools provided by the browser and that was that. Now... well... every dumbass designer with a bright idea is free to inflict some bit of novelty on you. Fads sweep through the design community and suddenly old sites which worked fine have to be "updated" to work differently, and you have to learn them all over again, for no benefit.
