>There are a lot of people who are very angry about this.

Could "woah" or someone else explain this to me? (And please don't make a snarky response, this is a sincere question from a someone who is ignorant of the dynamic at work here.)



The browser, JS, etc. have various flaws and forms of cruft accumulated over the years, and weren't originally designed specifically for the purpose of writing applications.

Of course, alternatives all have flaws and cruft, too, just different ones.


Thanks for your response.

So they are angry because it is a "hack" that actually affects them in some way or it one of those religious things?:

1. "I'm angry 'cause you're doing it wrong."

2. "Because open source"

3. Something only dogs can hear.

4. ???


Well, the web has certain limitations (which are slowly being dealt with, but they exist nonetheless).
