If you have an engineering mind and care about such things - you care about complexity.  Even if you don&#x27;t - user experience matters to everyone.<p>Have you ever seen something completely insane and everyone around doesn&#x27;t seem to recognize how awful it really is.  That is the web of today.  60-80 requests?  1MB+ single pages?<p>Your functionality, I don&#x27;t care if its Facebook - does not need that much.  It is not necessary.  When broadband came on the scene, everyone started to ignore it, just like GBs of memory made people forget about conservation.<p>The fact that there isn&#x27;t a daily drumbeat about how bloated, how needlessly complex, how ridicuous most of the world&#x27;s web appliactions of today really are - baffles me.
