If you really want to get to the point Web 2.0 is the problem. I enjoy DHTML menus and things of that nature.. tree views…, but when you stop asking asking is that “effect” serving a purpose or is it just eye candy and just do stuff to be cool and on the edge with new tech… your pretty much masterbaiting

The best use of Ajax is to prevent screen flicker and not freaking out people who don’t know how the web works.

Good programmers know how to make a proper UI because they use UI all the time in hundreds of programs, bad programmers know how to use VB…

Hyper Text Transfer Protocol -> Not -> Hip Trendy Target Perception

I understand what you’re saying when you raise issue of a call taking longer than necessary, and thus confusing the user. 99% of the time, keeping it light and simple solves the problem.

web interfaces are supposed to let a user carry out their tasks/actions and slip into the background, but marketing guys like to think their users are logged in 24hrs and need interfaces to resemble an OS as much as possible :)

and with javascript libraries becoming so much easier to plug into existing code, it’s hard not to give in to temptation..
