I would like to point out that any existing issues with web technologies (HTML/CSS/JS/PHP/your newest hyped web framework) are merely a symptom. The underlying cause, and the thing that actually sucks, is the fact that the web has been designed as a sort of document viewing system, as opposed to a cross-platform app execution system.

And it sucks in particular that 20 years ago, when there was still room to steer things into the right direction, it seems that nobody was smart enough to anticipate the change of requirements or got the courage to stand up against existing authorities and bring the traditional web model into question.

Whenever I see some web demo of a particularly flashy CSS trick or the newest WebGL effect on HN, something inside me cringes because nobody of the hype crowd would ever consider giving a wet fuck about it if the demo was running in a native app.

Thank you, I am not alone! I hope the madness will stop.
