The .NET and web development community both seem to have an obsession with adding abstractions, so it is not surprising to see such layering. In general it seems the vast majority of the web apps I've been forced to use are either slow, huge, or both, and I'm not convinced that should be the way it is.

Edit: wow, downvotes. Not that I really care, but it shows the "stick the head in the sand and don't care about bloat, ignore everyone complaining" mentality that pervades the community...

I didn’t downvote you, but I believe the response is that this isn’t so much the framework’s fault as the developer’s. There’s no reason that you must have a slow, huge web app regardless of what you use.

That said, I do see current frontend technology being replaced by something in a few years, probably wasm.

You're considering your personal experience to be a fact of the entire .NET and webdev community, so is it surprising that people disagree?

I've used and built many fast and lightweight webapps using .NET and other frameworks. Like most things, the tech has little to do with it.

Echo chambers downvote anyone who points out the echo chamber behavior.
