&gt; Perhaps you can write a tiny web app that loads instantly and still retains a full set of features, but most of the world cannot.<p>I&#x27;ve long been skeptical of this line of thinking emanating from major thick client JS framework authors. I think they underestimate what people are capable of.<p>&gt; Over time, Ember will become like gcc -O3 for web apps, intelligently optimizing them and delivering them as fast as possible, piece by piece, to your user’s browser.<p>I&#x27;ve been observing these trends for years and what I&#x27;m seeing is this: ever since these new thick client JS frameworks became so trendy, web performance has dramatically <i>decreased</i>, not increased.<p>This one-two combo punch of framework authors condescending their users as &quot;our target audience is devs who can&#x27;t hand code&quot; while simultaneously promising performance that&#x27;s just as good as hand coding and perpetually failing to deliver is a toxic stew that is crippling web performance.
