I don't think the point was either of those things. It's meant to express outrage at the overcomplication of websites with the excessive use of javascript, the needing to download megabytes of JS to render some text, etc. Here's the context from the original: > You think your 13 megabyte parallax-ative home page is going to get you some fucking Awwward banner you can glue to the top corner of your site. You think your 40-pound jQuery file and 83 polyfills give IE7 a boner because it finally has box-shadow. Being outraged at the state of the web has been lessening in popularity, I think. That's possibly because CSS has improved a lot and IE is finally obsolete.
