> It's disheartening to realize that the frontend space is no better now than when I began my career in 1990. I disagree. Since I started programming some 20 years ago, I relearned web (and especially JS) every 5 years or so. And each time I was pleasantly surprised at how much simpler / elegant / clean things have become. > that they feel slower to me as a developer and as an end user. that's true though. It possible (and even simple!) to make web-apps that are almost just as fast, but no one does that (at least not in the main stream).
