Yeah right. web devs (and sadly also other devs) are like magpies, always hunting for that latest shiny to add to their nest.

Border radius with prefixes instead of with images felt elegant and simple and not shiny at the time (relative to what we were replacing).

Yeah. 4 - 5 lines of CSS far out strips 4 corner images and several extra divs, the typical implementation.

Agreed, I would also say it's often not just the devs who build the requirements, hard to say something is impossible / not a good idea to implement when it's everywhere.
