I love it. It wasn&#x27;t even that long ago that I used to spend countless hours building everything with the sliding doors method and doing weird hacks to make things work in IE6 or (gasp) IE5. There was a lot less to know, and things were certainly simpler back then, but it was also extremely tedious.<p>Nowadays I can focus my effort on problems that are actually interesting. There&#x27;s been an explosion, and with the variety, things have gotten complexed. I understand that it can be cumbersome to those entering the field, and a lot of the time it&#x27;s total overkill for the problem. But... once you get over the hump, there&#x27;s now a lot of really cool shit you can do on the web that was completely unrealistic or unimaginable just a few years ago.
