Is it enough to upvote this post if we agree, or must we comment and make our voices heard?

I love minimalist designs. And <you'll all kill me and downvote me for this one cringe> I hate javascript, most of the time. 99 times out of a hundred, javascript is used to make things "pretty" or "neat" or "flashy" or "cool" when all it does is make things slow and add bloat. I'm not saying it doesn't have its uses, but you REALLY DON'T need that 500kb library to move text around the screen or change an icon. But I'm a systems developer and I code in C and ASM, so what do I know about web development..

Yeah, I hate how easy and fast upvoting is on HN. It's almost...too fast.

Like I said, most of the time. No one is complaining that replies on HN aren't AJAX'd :)
