Can I sing a few praises for the ghetto for a minute? It had more features. It was friendlier to non-developers because of things like Flash. It had more features. You could directly port native code through things like ActiveX (which we are now only recently getting back through ASM.js, with performance within an order of magnitude). It had more... you know where I'm going with this. The problem with that paradigm is the rise of resource-constrained mobile devices and security issues. But I'm unconvinced that the new paradigm won't just regrow the security issues and the performance problems as the features catch up.
