Why do so many responses seem to be "well, that's just a bad example of it"? It reminds me of the similar "well, they're just not a true conservative/liberal".

- drivebyacct2 14y agoSo the converse is true instead? eMachines are PCs, thus all PCs suck? Yeah, some responsive web designs suck. Some are good. Raging against all responsive web design is as silly as raging against all grouped and stereotyped things.
- mistercow 14y agoExcept that skrebbel said "some half-arsed mobile layout", which automatically narrows us down to the cases where responsive design is implemented poorly. It is ridiculous to argue against a design technique because sometimes the technique is executed badly, and that's the argument that skrebbel's comment put forward. And no, it isn't in any way similar to "no true Scotsman". There is a pretty simple and clear definition of what responsive design is, and that goalpost does not move from example to example. There are cases of responsive design that interfere with the user. There are other cases where you would only notice that it's responsive if you actually compared the site on mobile vs. on the desktop. The latter is good design, while the former is bad design.
