The web is beyond bloated.

The heavy reliance on JavaScript has suck the joy out of browsing the web for me

I'd say the over exploitation of JavaScript to leverage tracking, interaction and marketing has helped create the poor experiences we now have on web. The underlying technology when used for creating interactive and helpful UIs is very beneficial

The web killed the Internet.

JavaScript killed the web.

CSS defiled its corpse.

Honestly and without any trace of irony, I wish CSS would die and be replaced by maybe half a dozen new HTML tags to support a few specific responsive design patterns.

CSS runs counter to the concept of HTML. Web design used to be inherently user-centric. The designer was not supposed to have much of a say in how it looked on a client’s system, because that was up to the client. The designer only provided high-level hints like “this is a paragraph” or “this is emphasized”. The browser decided how a paragraph should be displayed, which fonts to use, etc.

Over time, visual designers clawed more and more control from the user, much to the detriment of the entire rest of the world.

99% of web sites would be better if they conformed to basic semantic markup. Low-level design parameters should not exist on the web.

It’s a straight line from CSS to Google’s new trusted web bullshit. It’s all about wresting control away from the user and giving it to the site designer. Fuck you, site designer. My eyeballs do not belong to you.
