A nice list, but I can't be the only person here that is trying to speed up my page-load time and reduce the number of development tools that I depend on. Which would make a smaller shortlist?
- cleverjake 15y agoI don't think that they are suggesting to use all of them. They are a collection of different addons that may be useful to different people.
- niclupien 15y agoI guess it depends on what you need. Most of them are helpers to create quick applications, ideal for startup and prototypes. Writing less code also mean writing less bugs. When I create a stylesheet, it may take a while to get feedback if it doesn't work on a obscure browser version while a bug in Twitter's bootstrap will be detected (and probably fixed) a lot sooner.
- nl 15y agospeed up my page-load time and reduce the number of development tools that I depend on Most people like to speed up their page-load time, but reducing the number of tools you rely on seems a strange thing to do (unless it is some kind of enforce-artificial-constraints thing). A good craftsperson knows their tools well, and knows which tool to use where. Reducing the number of tools seems artificially limiting.

Hearing about the same thing, multiple times, from multiple sources you trust is a sign you should try something.
