Re: Words of wisdom
I feel this is a little over the top. There's undoubtedly a lot of unnecessary javascript (esp those *!"£wits who use javascript to wrap an image fetch) but considered use can improve the user experience a lot. As does considered use of css and html.
However - poorly considered use of any of these is something else entirely. I once had the pleasure of looking at an html page which resulted from microsoft word saving as html. It would have required a lot of javascript to be worse than that.
It's not really helped by everyone having their own copy of rapid or node or whichever framework they've chosen to splat over their web page. Which means you have to download the same code over and over again, rather than downloading it once from a master copy.
