One of my greatest joys as a developer was taking a web RTS from 100% DOM to everything but the HUD being canvas. I had a crappy "workstation" with very old, barely supported video card that even modern phones outperformed with easy due to better GPU acceleration. It felt almost like working on a real game, especially once I got the buildings and units going. Went from 5-15 to 45-60 FPS during battles with hundreds of units. I even enjoyed the little fine tuning/cheating here and there that reminded me of the real games I've been playing my entire life. I was moderately happy at this ungrateful, low paying job.
