I really like that if it's just a simple <a href>, I can completely understand what it does and the code is very short.

  Yes, and there's no loss of functionality, you can still share/Tweet/whatever. Really makes you think about what exactly all that extra JS the real button loads is doing.

    If you're not asking rhetorically, all of the extra stuff is a delivery vehicle for Facebook/etc. tracking code.

      They didn't ask; they said it makes you think about it.

    Facebook at least used to tell the user if any friends also liked something, as well as tell them whether they had liked the page already. Not sure if FB still supports that, and where I work, we have used static buttons since forever.
