This is my feeling too. 'This ship already sailed' It was the fight to turned the document, information transparent world of the web into a application you run on the browser where you dont care about the output as a information piece, but only how the pixel have rendered. The browsers themselves together with the companies that drive them, killed the web on its conceptual level, and now the browser is just a multi-platform engine to render apps that are located in remote servers (and lets not forget how they will push for cloud stack here, given the profits it will make for them). The web got corrupted into its core concepts, and now is just a shadow of its former self.
