I've been noticing the problem of fancy js-driven front-ends on the open web more lately too. I feel like not a day goes by when I don't use some site that just breaks on a certain browser, or exhibits weird unintended ui behaviour with unresponsive buttons or blank page loads. Blogger is a classic example, but I see a lot of sites from travel to banking that used to be perfectly serviceable and boring become unreliable lately and months later the problems don't get fixed. Usually the source reveals angular.js or something like it. This has got to be costing companies money, but it's hard to say when we'll see a return to simplicity as a virtue.
