I would say .html, .css and .js and the browser are becoming over-engineered.

HTTP and SMTP are fine however.

I have stopped coding .html and only use HTTP now from a native OpenGL client written in C.

I would agree, although HTTP and SMTP are not the only protocols; in many cases other protocols should do better (such as IRC, SSH, etc).

How is that working? Do you have any further details?

SSH is not a frontend protocol, but I use that for the backend.

IRC is replacable with HTTP.
