Perhaps in somewhat of a retrospect compared to 2016, I find that it also just makes for shitty webpages, if you go all-in on JavaScript. No matter how strong your hardware is, it always just feels like ass. You often get interaction patterns that users don’t expect/understand or which don’t feel native on their OS or which are even just completely broken on e.g. touchscreens. And even if you fix all of those, it’s still slow. Other pages zip by and then something like YouTube feels like a juggernaut for no good reason.
