You can bet I liked the quote:

"We've gone along with complicating the web, no longer respecting the simplicities in HTTP and HTML, which allowed the web to work in the first place. For example, we hardly still design for what Bradley calls "progressive enhancement and graceful degradation". We see this failure in the web development world, which now depends almost utterly on JavaScript, most of which is proprietary and downloaded constantly on the fly to run in browsers."

But otherwise, great artical! I do like the principles laid out there.

Kind of interesting he didn't mention GitHub in "We collaborate inside proprietary environments", but I don't have a problem with that. The proprietary software is running on their servers not my client, where I don't care about it.

And as I've said earlier for "Many FOSS geeks today use Linux only professionally": I love my desktop!
