Can you further explain your principles around the web? I'm curious to hear more. For instance, it sounds like you don't think web sites ought to be able to distribute JavaScript which executes on your computer in order to generate a user interface, but it seems you do think web devs have the right to utilize your internet bandwidth to download markup from a server in order to generate a user interface. Is that the case, and if so, why do you make that distinction?

Theoretically my local computer is faster to render something than my network connection can download the pre-rendered content.

However, 99% of javascript blobs of hatred end up slower than downloading the pre-rendered content.

Maybe GP wants to access the information and not the unnecessary local processing?

Edit: wording

Why stop there? They should get their own end users as well.

If you hate it so much just turn off JavaScript and enjoy waiting for the page to reload every time you click on anything

Which is often faster than the response time of a client side app.

Great! Enjoy it!
