less ads, less tracking, less lightbox modals, less hover context menus, less elements that move when you're trying to click something and make you click something else, less stupid "intelligent" tooltip helpers, less weird fonts, less frontend gimmick of the week, acceptable page load time. Basically I hate everything on every webpage except the text and maybe sometimes a picture. Most content should degrade gracefully to text, because most sites aren't doing anything truly special enough to be an exception. When a site doesn't do this it makes me mad. Am I entitled? Yeah probably, but it's my explanation.
I also suspect that a lot of people, like myself, still consider the WWW a linked document system rather than a fat client application terminal, we just want documents with links to other documents, and sometimes simple forms.
