Javascript is getting freakishly absurd. What is wrong with the JS ecosystem? This feels like XML all over again.

I know not all engineers do this, but this crap is what caused me to buy a new laptop. I was fine with my existing tools and workflow, but websites have gotten so slow and ridiculous. It's largely Javascript's fault.

I used to get angry about walled garden app stores, but lately I find myself hating the web. I don't dislike it, but I think we went on a really lame detour.

As an aside, Javascript ads are worse than Flash ads ever were.
