Don't get this fad of hate to be honest. The web, fucked as it is, works. Obviously there's a load of cruft because humans will try and exploit any system, but if our only problems are our Macbooks spinning their fans up a bit, it's a beef that really only irks purists. Day to day, talking to people, people don't bitch about the web other than about invasive adverts. Frankly I think a lot of commentary stems from backend people being annoyed that frontend people earn a bunch of money for work they deem insignificant.
