I personally hate when developers make fisher price websites with javascript for GUI, when all or almost all of it can be replaced with HTML and some CSS. You know, things my browser can execute with highly optimised machine code.

>things my browser can execute with highly optimized machine code ...this includes JS - every browser includes an engine that does exactly this, in fact. It’s this lack of understanding of how the language and browsers function that makes these tired arguments particularly infuriating.
