>>Don't assume that everyone is happy with whatever level of mediocrity _you_ think is acceptable.
So large library size == mediocre?
Jesus christ, HN is full of extremists.

And I, as a user, am left waiting several seconds waiting for pages larger than the original Doom executable to load. It's gotten so bad that my wife had to be selective of when to use her phone because browsing normally without wifi from starbucks etc would get her over the plan limit by mid-month. I mean, how much browsing are you really supposed to be able to do when every page is several MBs of JS alone, and you have a 300MB/mo plan to work with? Not every country has cheap/good mobile plans.
Also, library size !== mediocrity at all. No one builds an unreasonably large framework on purpose either.
If your problem space requires a lot of code, then off course not.
