Ok, that's why I made arguments against the body of the text. Did you read my initial post? I'm sure you must've, which makes it so strange you'd come attack this argument while pretending that the other ones don't exist

It's really not. The whole thing is a series of strawmans aiming to justify degrading user experience to avoid developer "complexity", but then that developer complexity is grossly overstated, as if from someone who has never dipped their toe in it decided that each complaint they had heard about it was spoken by God himself.

Indeed, my whole first comment is thoroughly discarding each of these strawmans before I grew frustrated by the fact that the author and the thread were both reciting this 2015-era anti-JS dogma.

I suggest you go try to make counterarguments to those points instead of my exasperated reply to someone adding nothing to the convo.

HTH!
