Modals can be a lazy (and worst, wrong) solution. But I've found that pavlovian bashing of modals is as lazy and unproductive. > And remember to always ask, kids: >“Why does this have to be a modal?” In my experience people don't need to be remembered to ask this. And generally people can't justify why it shouldn't be a modal or why a non-modal solution is better than a modal one.
