There are also other lightweight alternatives. The Gopher protocol has a small, but disturbed following : http://gopher.muffinlabs.com/gopher.floodgap.com http://gopher.muffinlabs.com/gopher.floodgap.com (you can actually use netcat as your gopher client).

I don't think anyone looks at the thick-client model browsers have evolved into and sees an optimal solution. I think evangelistic energy should probably be directed at complaining to organizations that share content through JS-framework monstrosities. Getting rank-and-file web-devs excited about lean websites doesn't hurt, but clients and CTOs have real decision making power.
