I'm always an "It Depends" kind of guy.

I have a personal issue with having a 500KB page load, so a button press can be animated.

Ugh you triggered me.

I hate how most "modern" websites have MEGABYTES of JavaScript. CSS? Pack it in a js bundle with JSX and object literals. Images? Throw them in too, just make it load on demand.

Hell, just put a <div id=root/> there and let js do the rest. It's not like we have browsers and networks and edge nodes optimized to render websites in other ways.
