   You think those are experts? Experts in money and being cheap, I suppose,   
   but not experts in web development and design. Have you actually looked   
   into most javascript-riddled websites? A majority of the things they rely   
   on the client browser to generate could be done with basic HTML and maybe   
   some CSS.   
      
   These web designers don't actually know what they are doing, they just know   
   what everyone else is doing. This is evident by the amount of JS frameworks   
   there are that make entirely simple things incredibly complex. If you   
   actually know how to make websites, your job pays you not to.   
      
   It's a similar problem in the general software space. We used to have   
   programs run as efficient as possible on little resources, but there are so   
   many languages now that have power users that you'll find software made to   
   be as efficient as possible do an insane amount of processing at once but   
   it is made in python. Nobody knows what they're doing, they just know what   
   everybody else is doing.
