&gt;  It&#x27;s about time to acknowledge that the web is increasingly being used to access full-blown applications more often than &quot;webpages.&quot;<p>I think that is orthogonal to bloat. Sure, a complex app will always have more to load and compute than a static page with one blog post on it, but that doesn&#x27;t mean an app can&#x27;t be bloated on top of that, just like pages with just a single blog post on them can be bloated.
