"First meaningful paint" means nothing to me, depending on what the developer means by "meaningful". Why can't I just have the whole page load and display quickly? A lot of this nonsense is because of mobiles. Mobile browsers don't handle some UI elements (checkboxes, radios, drop-downs) very well, and all the browsers have "interesting" incompatibilities; so developers use these compatibility shims, which usually result in a badly-degraded desktop experience, and slowness for everyone. So I'm blaming the mobile browsers. They don't deal with standard markup properly.
