Honestly it just boils down to one overhyped method of web design: MOBILE FIRST.

Mobile-first designs create gargantuan gaps of information sparseness on any larger form-factor.

Folks should go back and re-read ethan marcotte‘a Responsive Web Design. He goes from actually a desktop design and shrinks it down. No mention of mobile-first.

So, start with a design, and consider how it works on both form factors EQUALLY. None of this mobile-first crap unless building an app, a whole app, and nothing but a mobile app.

Even worse than mobile-first -- tablet apps for media have been getting TV-first redesigns lately.

But (as above) the "mobile first" option is often insufferably sparse on mobile!
